If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you....
Perhaps Rudyard Kipling's verse is the best advice in this crisis in the Church. Here are some things that might give us some perspective on the sex crisis:
Get to know a victim and listen to her/his story.
Note that the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report says that since 2002 when most dioceses adopted very strict guidelines there has been a drastic reduction of abuse reported.
Notice that the same Jury reports heterosexual as well as homosexual misconduct.
Imagine how far, far more priests and bishops remain good pastors.
If you think this is the worst, read the history of the church.
