Charles L. Bailey Jr. Quotes

The Rochester Group [of VOTF], However, Was Met With Some Concern As They Found It Hard To Believe My Account As It Unfolded Before Them. I Feel That Some People Have A Hard Time With The Truths Around Us, Not Only The Sexual Abuse By Priests, But All Bad Things. I Call It Chosen Ignorance. This Modified Form Of Ignorance Is Found In People Who, If Confronted With Certain Truths Realize That They Have To Accept Them And Thereby Acknowledge Evil, And That Scares Them. Opening Up And Letting The Truth In Might Knock Them Off Their Perceived Center. It Is Too Hard, Period.
(VOTF - Voice Of The Faithful - A Catholic Group That Wants To Change The Church, Keep The Faith.)
