The Meeting

Yesterday, when I started to read about Benedict's reception of victims of sexual abuse, it made so happy. It's hopeful. I'm the first person to say that we haven't done enough to address the roots of this problem, but the fact that Benedict has come back to it in every speech he's made so far, and that he actually met personally with a few victims, it makes me so grateful for him and gives me hope. Hope is meant to be the theme of his visit, after all.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
