text: I know a woman  who left the church (went Episcopalian) after one of the recent child rape scandals.  Raised catholic, catholic education through high school.  Yes, Tommy got it right about faith.  She lost faith in an institution that claims the Eucharist is sacred while protecting child raping priests who perform that ritual.  She lost faith in liars like Tommy, JPII, Francis, etc., who put the reputation of the church and their own careers ahead of protecting the flock.  Yes, it's about faith, Tom, and you and your cohorts forfeited any claim to the faithful by your disgusting, slavish obedience to the institution, which you elevated over God and the people you allegedly care so much about, your smug arrogance and your lack of virtue.  You'd best take some time to examine your own conscience, Tommy, because if there is justice in the afterlife, Hell is going to be crowded with bishops, priests and popes, while heaven may contain a surprising number of "faithless."
