Truly worth watching...

This is a hard video to watch.  Doing so takes time and a willingness to not turn aside from an evil that exists in this world.  This is not a video on how horrible is the Catholic church, though the actions taken by its leadership are shameful.  They are the same actions, however, that are, sadly, all too common.

I have never seen such a bald look at a pedophile.  I have never seen such a raw look at the impact childhood sexual abuse can still have years later.  I have never such an honest look at a topic most people avoid. As I wrote before, sexual abuse is everywhere...even on the mission field.

Sin will always remain in this world until the fullness of time arrives and Jesus calls His church home. However, this particular sin, and its devastation upon the lives it touches, could be dramatically reduced if more people were willing to look, willing to keep this uncomfortable topic in our public and private discourse, and willing to act against it.


Lord, have mercy.  Christ, have mercy.  Lord, have mercy.
