I am very upset by all the sex-scandals that have been poping up on the News.... I am so embarrassed.....What I would like to know is why the Catholic Church paid people money to be quiet about the sexual molestation that they suffered from Priests. My God, why would the Church want to try to pay someone to be quiet instead of trying to find out the truth?.... Those Priests need to be in Prison! This disturbs me.... I would think that the Church would call the police, and let the police handle the "criminal charges". I just heard on 20/20 that a Priest molested a boy about 20 years ago or so... The boy told on the Priest and the Church paid the boy $125,000 to keep quiet about the incident.... Years later, the Priest that molested that child was hand picked by the Pope to become a Bishop in Florida..... How could the Pope even think of picking that Priest to become a Bishop? Why was that Priest still a priest in the first place, let alone become a Bishop...? I am having serious doubts about my Church.... I am Catholic, but I am having trouble processing all this sexual abuse that has been committed by Priests, and Bishops! Aren't they suppose to be Christ-Like, and a spiritual role models? It is hard to believe and have faith in your Church when they are committing evil, evil, sins...... This is the Church that is telling me not to use birth-control, but pays people money to be quiet about their sexual abuse caused by Priests..... I am very upset by all of this..... I am at a religious crisis right now...... I am thinking about leaving me Church..... Hope
