Pandora17, I do not envy you, your blind faith in the Vatican. When you compare how the Curia have contributed in many many ways to the enabling;  protection; & continuing support of the clerical & religious sexual abuse of young children; by their use & misuse of Canon Law; to the hyped up condemnation of priests like Tony Flannery; who questioned some of the options for a church in crisis.

Our Taoiseach (Prime Minister) highlighted the "dysfunction; disconnection; elitism; & narcissism that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day" .. "the rape & torture of children has been downplayed or managed to uphold instead, the primacy of the institution; which are it's power, standing and reputation. He said the Catholic Church needed to be truly and deeply penitent, for the wrong doing it perpetrated, hid and denied" (government chamber 20/05/2011 following the report of the Cloyne Diocese Judicial Review)

Now compare Fr. Tony Flannery's misdemeanors, with the Curia's position.
