WORDS TO PONDER

"These revelations were a shock for me, a great sadness. It is difficult to understand how this perversion of the priestly ministry was possible... It is also a great sadness that the authority of the church was not sufficiently vigilant and not sufficiently quick and decisive in taking the necessary measures." Pope Benedict XVI, interview with Philip Pullella & Avril Ormsby, "Catholic Church heads not vigilant over sex abuse--Pope" Reuters 16 September 2010

"You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works!" Psalms 139:13-14

"Real corruption is moral and spiritual corruption. The rejection or disregard of morality and religious belief is at the core of corruption. Moral and spiritual corruption breeds its kind in other spheres of life--political, social, and economic." Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, Securing our Moral Heritage: Towards a Moral Society
