text: While that is certainly true of some, I know for certain it is not true of all.  I would have to question the basis for your making such a blanket indictment.  I have had the experience of meeting and working with many, many priests - some from religious orders and some from diocesan positions - and am impressed with most of them as trying to do their ministries in the most trying of circumstances.  I must say that I cringe when all of those in one group are painted the same way.  Part of me has learned to accept it as a result of the sex abuse crisis, that the trust between ordained and professed and the rest of the Church and the public has been so damaged, so deeply, we are going to continue to pay a very high price in the lack of trust or positive regard from most sectors.  But I do object to lumping together those who strive to be the followers of Jesus, and those who abandoned that goal.  Your comment makes me very sad.
