Noel McGivern Quotes

The Catholic Church Wants To See Child Abuse By Priests And Nuns As Simply An Issue Of Some Very Bad Priests And Nuns. What It Needs To Understand Is That The Nature Of Religion Compounded The Problem. It Allowed Priests To Have A Status That Placed Them Above Suspicion. It Fostered A Myth That Celibacy Meant Purity. It Had Schools That Enforced Authority By Beating Children And Taught That Authority Figures Should Not Be Questioned. Men Like Smyth And Steele Will Have Understood The Esteem In Which Priests Were Held And Seen Themselves As Untouchable. They Had Every Reason To, As The Catholic Church Did A Great Deal To Defend And Enable Them.
