CATHOLIC: WILL IT EVER END?

Two items regarding wayward priests in the Roman Catholic family caught my attention this morning. Both made me ache for my cousins from Rome ...
Pilfering priest gets five years of probation, community service ...
The former pastor of a Roman Catholic church in Randolph who stole $360,000 from its coffers to help a male lover and others was sentenced on Friday to five years' probation and 250 hours of community service.
Priest, Lay Board At St. Louis Church Excommunicated ...
St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke has excommunicated a priest and the board of directors of a traditionally Polish parish that resisted his efforts to put the parish's property and assets under his control.
Every day seems to bring news about some dark secret of the past or worse misbehavior in the present.

I know we Southern Baptists have our problems but Lord, there seems to be as much opportunity for ministry in the pulpit at the RCC as in the pew.
