  I don't think anyone has had a pop at the individuals, just the institution.
  
  I recall feverish posting about 'institutional racism' accompanied by high and mighty views about said subject and how we should root out those responsible, name and shame and drag through the streets type stuff.
  
  Well, some of us feel this particular branch of the Church is suffering from something akin to institutional child abuse.
  
  Paul is right to remind us that Catholics were on the receiving end, but as it is the institution that is covering up these horrible incidents only the man at the very top can make a real difference. Sadly, to date, the inertia we see at that level leads some of us to conclude there is much more being hidden, as is also the case with converted Jews refused help by the Vatican in WWII and subsequently sent to gas chambers in Poland.
  
  Until Hispopeness goes public with his condemnation and 'outs' publicy those responsible for the crimes AND cover-ups, people like Rick and me with have fuel for our fire.
