I'm getting mighty sick of these illogical Catholic arm-chair quarterbacks who are using the sex-abuse scandals as a vehicle for arguing that the Church is "out of touch" with the world. On the contrary, if the Church in America wasn't so *&%$! concerned about what the world thought of it (e.g., "homophobic", misogynist, prudish) the Church probably wouldn't be in the mess it is in today!
