text: Sr. Sally Butler's story is very moving.
  
  I've often felt a twinge of discomfort at the volume of commentary I direct at the institutional church and its powerful actors while ignoring the countless anonymous Catholics toiling in the vineyard, living the Gospel. They're heroes and saints and the true church.
  
  However vividly Sr. Butler describes her reaction to the revelations of clerical sex abuse that reached even her own adopted son, I can't imagine it. I'll never forget when I first learned of the scandals. I'd been out of the church and an atheist for decades. Still, the shock was visceral, that priests (priests!) had betrayed Jesus so egregiously. How much more profound the anguish for the faithful Sally Butler!
  
  There are just no words.
