Comments on: These two pieces from the Chicago Tribune certainly add mortar to the brick wall the Roman Catholic Church is building to protect itself. In all fairness, after 16 years of Catholic education, I have met no relatives or friends who recall even the slightest incident of priestly abuse. I know that my parents reared us with a peaceful humanism and a healthy anti-clerical base. Gentle as my Father was, he would have responded to any inappropriate behavior with action from which no wall could protect the evil-doer; and this would be the better option for the perpetrator. Had my Mother become involved, I hesitate to imagine the outcome.
