The Pope Apologises

On seeing the need to finally respond to the sexual abuse crises that the Catholic Church is facing, the Pope has now pledged that the Church will protect the young from abuse. In fact, he recently met with a group of victims who were abused by Catholic priests and promised them that the church would do everything in its power to bring justice to victims and protect the young people in the future.

Is the word of the Pope enough guarantee for the millions of people who send their children to Catholic church and schools? Can the world relax, believing that not one more little catholic boy will be abused again? Or should we just not send our boys to become altar boys or better yet just not send our children to Catholic Schools, especially catholic boarding schools? This would be unfortunate as the catholics have some of the best schools all over the world. But as we know from history, specifically biblical history, in every paradise there is corruption.

Narrowing it down to home; a specific example is that Jamaica is a paradise but in that paradise there is so much muck.
