And so is the American hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, whose tepid response to the priestly pedophilia scandals has cost the Church untold tens of millions of dollars in legal settlements, to say nothing of the ruined lives and shattered faith of victims and their families.

Email This Article Children Need Morality - Lisa Marie ContiniIn his 1929 encyclical Christian Education of Youth, Pope Pius XI taught that, “particularly in young people, evil practices are the effect not so much of ignorance of intellect as of weakness of a will exposed to dangerous occasions . . .” (ibid., no. 66). His Holiness is reminding us of the dangers of providing children with information on human sexuality at a time when they do not have the maturity to use this information properly. Email This Article Church Teaching on Contraception (Part 1) - Fr. William SaundersThe topic of contraception is so controversial. It seems to always come up at work and many bash the Church for its teaching, including Catholics. I do not seem to know how to defend the Church as well as I should. Could you give an explanation?
