    Default Sexual Abuse Settlement (Catholic Church)

    http://www.fox6.com/news/local/story...c-b41757e9a5b4

    There were 144 victims and they got 200 million bucks for the settlement. I was watching the news (yes, it's fox news but I had been watching Family Guy earlier ) and there are these seriously pissed off people that someone would dare to take money from their church. One guy said people should NEVER take money from the church, only give it. Another guy was shocked that there wasn't public outrage at the victims accepting the money.

    My mom's a committed Catholic and she feels the same way. She thinks this is all a huge scam for people to get money by discrediting Holy Mother Church, and there's no way all these people were really abused, and the accusers are damned for what they're doing to the community. She was furious with me when I asked if she ever left my brothers alone with the priests and youth ministers (and yes, she does).

    Of course, the same woman sincerely believes that the Blessed Virgin takes a personal interest in her daily life. My mom asks the Virgin for advice on everything, like how to discipline her kids and what to make for dinner. It's really sad. She wasn't like that when I was a kid, thank G-d.

    There is a documentary out called, "Deliver Us From Evil". Here is the link for the trailer http://youtube.com/watch?v=scW90Q6Z_OM . The catholic church has spent so many years f over their own problems, and the people they were supposed to be helping. As for them getting sued I see it as karma for all the messed up things the catholic church has done. In elementary I went to a catholic school, and most of the nuns had something loose up there . Makes me wonder if it was because they were abused. That could explain some of the problems your mother has Yek.
