I just read this site’s rules. Here’s some of them:
Don’t be overly inflammatory. Let’s not go overboard.
Be civil. No personal attacks.
Some of the reactions/comments listed here are very unkind and definitely NOT abiding by this site’s rules…
Fr. Morris is simply responding as Jesus would…with love and mercy. He is certainly not condoning pedophilia in this case…or in any case ever… It is true that Christians should seek to be good examples. It is also true that Christians, like everyone else, fall short. Young Christians, like all young people, tend to make more mistakes due to their age and lack of maturity. I would not hesitate to say that I myself and the others who made these comments listed here would hate to have people look into our lives with such intensity. I’m sure we’ve all made mistakes that we would rather not be brought to light in such a manner. We are ALL so blessed to have a God who yearns to love and forgive us…no matter what.
There are way too many wonderful, Godly priests who live out their lives in a loving, self-sacrificing way. I get sick of hearing people bash all priests for the horrific crimes of a tiny minority…
It’s ridiculously unfair to bitterly criticize the entire CHURCH FOUNDED BY CHRIST and the many, many good men who serve the Church…all because of the actions of a few.
