Sin inside the Church

Today the Church must be biting its own feet with the latest revelations of the growing number of sexually motivated abuses of which experts have attributed to the broken oath of celibacy for one to become a priest.Seeing Pope Benedict the XVI in a televised address painfully render his apologies to the families and victims of sexual abuse in Ireland was bad enough to take back the majority of Catholics worldwide to the drawing board and review its stand on celibacy.It is frightening to see the number or priests that have been arrested for sex abuse cases in churches worldwide. Priests sex abuse cases, series of lawsuits, criminal prosecutions and scandals committed by catholic priests both under diocesan and in orders which care for the sick or teach in learning institutions have been alarming.The over six decades old sex abuse scandal involving Roman Catholic priests world over has now only boiled over and the lid covering years of filth and dirt in one of the most respected religions,one that has endured centuries of battering has reached critical mass and can no longer be glossed over.No amount of cover ups of sexual abuse can be ignored.The book is good to all Christians.
