speak, not spek (which is a kind bacon).

No I don't think it has led to an increase in child abuse but it has quite clearly turned a blind eye to that which was happening. under its own umbrella

I am no longer a member of the church so cannot spek for others.

Well, they do say. "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic" and I think, to some extent, it's probably true. When I (in my thirties) made a serious effort to return, as it were, to the faith of my childhood and then later realised that it genuinely wasn't for me, I found it very hard and quite painful to break the newly forged link.

Do you think that the RC church has led to an increase in child abuse?
Do members of this church feel inordinate guilt at questioning their clergy?

I know that this is going to be controversial, but lets try it!
