The Tone Deaf Catholic Hierarchy


I have commented at length on the inability of the Catholic Church hierarchy to grasp the public reaction to the sexual abuse scandal. These bitter old men in dresses just don't get it. Probably in part because they are celibate and have never children of their own. Nonetheless, one can only be shocked at the obtuseness of the hierarchy when you see a photo like the one above which comes from the cover of Vermont Catholic. Given what's exploding all around the world in the sexual abuse scandal, WHY would anyone place a photo of a young man with his face bowed to the crotch of a bishop? Whoever is handling Church PR needs to be shot.

Celibacy needs to go NOW and a full housecleaning of the Church hierarchy is needed NOW.
