This abuse mess has to be addressed once and for all, and it has to start at the top, it's time for the Pope to get into the fray in a big way.

I haven't written much lately as I have had other things on my mind mainly a home sale in this pitiful down market and an upcoming move. But the news over the last couple weeks about the resurgence of the abuse scandal has prodded me back to the laptop. I left the Catholic Church several years ago when the abuse scandal was at it's peak in the US and of late have given serious thought to going back to the Catholic church for several good reasons, one of which is the fact that the Roman Catholic Church is the only organization in the world that has the membership and the history to be able to combat the world wide expansion of Islam.

The other is that I had thought that even though the scandal was not handled at all well in the US and that the measures taken were far less than the draconian measures that should have been taken, the church was doing it's best to keep from imploding and in the US at least would take measures to see that it didn't happen anymore, I was really wrong on that one.

Anyway I have to give this a great deal more thought and will write on this subject over the next few days and weeks as it really is important.

Thanks for reading.
