Juan Antonio Menendez. However, this is the attitude of (Mother?) Church. The pope wants to speak out on issues concerning the environment, war, and abortion, but the plight of the child who is father by a priest and possibly left to grow up without his father is a shame that is ignored, as is the suffering of the women in these situations. The truth is that the church rarely grants laicizations if a priest wants to marry, has a child, and especially is already married. This injustice is never addressed in the public arena. I think this needs more scrutiny by the public. The issue for Chruch and priest seems very much to be celibacy, and the if the Church wants to stand for compassion, justice,and truth it should exercise its solution, laicization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
