Just got done watching "Spotlight", the Hollywood version of how
the Boston Globe unleashed the first domino that would cause the entire
Catholic Church to nearly crumble in 2002. Rampant sexual abuse and a
systematic coverup scandal by the Vatican.
I was watching... And soon... I found myself crying uncontrollably. Those were kids. That could've been me or big bro... Or any one of our friends growing up.
And to think... Most of my childhood heroes were priests. My favorite saint Don Bosco, was a priest... I wanted to become a priest. Ironically... Don Bosco was known for his work with Youths, particularly young boys. Goodness gracious...
And prior to the consecration and communion of every mass.... The priest will our holy water on his hands, like the priests did during biblical times and utter those words, "Lord, wash away my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins...."
