BBC News - Catholic Church sex abuse scandals around the world

BBC News - Catholic Church sex abuse scandals around the world

Time to think. Time to rehash the role and status of a church. Time to accept the flaws and make changes. Nothing is above human dignity. All the religions say so. To serve the humans is to serve GOD.

Do we want to wait for an uprising and total loss of faith in institutions like Church, to take action? There was a time when people looked upon churches in their hours of dire needs and help. I bet you they will think twice.

Truly dedicated, committed people needed in church. Not necessary all of them should be monks. Ordinary people can help too. Make fresh start. Let church re-define its role beyond simply performing rituals and ceremonies and denouncing. Be proactive in bringing human dignity to those who need it.
