Truth Shocks, Deceit Rarely Does!
It is said that those who have been uncovering the truth about the corruption in the Church, most particularly in high places, are the instruments of the devil because they scandalize the faithful. But the devil is the purveyor of lies not the truth. It is the Holy Spirit who is the purveyor of the truth, and those who speak the truth are acting in his name, and those who refuse to listen are committing the sin against the Holy Spirit. Why, oh why does the truth so often shock when deceit rarely does? It is time we all grew up. The devil wants to keep the evil that is corrupting the Church secret and hidden, so like an insidious cancer it can totally destroy it. It is those who wish to hide its pernicious growth and who seek to hunt down and punish those who speak the truth who are the instruments of the devil.The current scandals that are at present corrupting the Church are predominantly sexual. Almost every week you hear of more shocking cases. These unthinkable cases of abuse were once latent, then blatant, but now they are rampant – so rampant they everyone knows about them both inside and outside the Church. They are so rampant that the possibility of hiding them is no longer an option.What is the cause of so many clerics in the Church, from top to bottom, perpetrating the most heiness sexual demeanours imaginable against the young and innocent? It is time that the question is asked fairly and squarely or we will never find a solution.
