"A lot of 'survivors' are either uber religious or adamant atheists, either way it's a reaction to child sex abuse by a priest, just in a different direction.  I was barely raised catholic, so the church stuff drives me nuts. Before I started CofA Blog I did not know the difference between a monsignor and a bishop. When someone said, 'the religious,' I said, the religious what, so I agree with you. I wish the clergy sex abuse issue did not end up in discussion of The Vatican and the Catholic Church, but it's inevitable, considering who the bad guys are."
