Problems in the Church
This blog is secular and does not promote one faith over another, but it respects all faiths and upholds the right to hold and support any religion dedicated to goodwill and healing. The Roman Catholic church is in serous crisis. To an outsider looking in, I am not clear that the nature of the crisis is understood in the various elements of its senior leadership.
The paedophile priests shock the world. The scale of the abuse, the facts that it was and maybe still is in places systemic and that the Vatican authorities were so unwilling to allow the story to be told, is so destructive of trust. But there is a wider dimension. This wickedness and terrible harm was perpetrated upon the vulnerable by men allegiedly called by their God to the priesthood. How can it be that those so called, whose faith and devotion exceeds the ordinary person, who are in continuous communion with the Almighty, commit such wicked acts? What drives them?
This is not about gay bishops or women priests. This is not about theological interpretation. This is not about condoms in Africa, abortion or divorce, some or all of which have engaged the Roman Church, as well as the Anglican Church, for a very long time. This is about things so dreadful that it does not seem credible that an organisation in which such abuses were not only possible, but tolerated and accepted, can have any valid relationship with any known interpretation of God. Such a structure appears God forsaken. It appears one in which the Devil himself roams free.
It was this sort of sub-conscious thought passing through the mind of Archbishop Rowan Williams which caused him to muse with Andrew Marr, that the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland had lost all credibility. It is not the first time that this very spritual Archbishop has said something which has caused an outcry and which he has then had to modify. This does not mean he is wrong. People of faith, especially those who have the good of Rome at heart, would be wise to listen to him.
