I mean, it's easy to feel compassionate towards the innocent, but those who inflict the pain need the compassion most. Even though they might spurn it, and you for offering it.<br /><br />Rage against injustice and stupidity and wrong thinking kind of misses the deeper point. I mean, it isn't beneficial on some level. <br /><br />I guess what I mean is that whenever I feel righteous indignation it means that I'm failing to see something vital. Maybe it's hidden, but it doesn't mean it isn't worth searching for.<br /><br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Scott<br />tearful dishwasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436954924992728636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-79508975339438199142014-06-05T11:17:03.138-07:002014-06-05T11:17:03.138-07:00Twenty years ago, due to marriage and babies, I co...Twenty years ago, due to marriage and babies, I converted to Catholicism. I attended mass faithfully for many years and my children received all the sacraments through Catholic schooling. All that and I have learned only one thing for sure...the Catholic Church and really any organized religion, is pure crap. I will no longer NOT speak up about the reprehensible behavior of the church towards the LGBT communities and the sexual abuse victims of its clergy. Now this story about more heinous crime in the name of religion. 'Bullshit' is the most politically correct of terms I would use. <br /><br />Kris MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-33985276839254981992014-06-05T06:48:11.637-07:002014-06-05T06:48:11.637-07:00I had not heard about this story!

I do wonder where all their babies went.
