Catholic Bishops Outraged -- It's Time To Respond

The institutional Catholic Church speaking out with so much moral outrage and righteous fear and democratic concern about the issue of government sanctioned birth control is pathetic.    Young boys were raped and sodomized for decades, if not centuries, by Catholic clergy   --   where is the fear and demand for justice and outrage and righteous indignation and bluster from the pulpit about this heinous Church empowered evil.  

As a Catholic I sat for years and suffered through homilies on the evils of birth control and abortion delivered by specially chosen American, Irish, and African priests.  I watched as women that I knew who had had abortions visibly suffer through these disgusting tirades, having to endure psychic assault.  I witnessed the churches war on abortion and women draw violent and unstable people into the parish.   I lived through the Church participating in the destruction of my family.   I suffered through the Church annulling my marriage based on lies and innuendo of mentally unstable individuals -- my daughter is now a bastard?   I saw first-hand the complicated and unhealthy sexual dilemma of good spiritual men who had chosen the priesthood as a career.   I also saw, what I didn't realize at the time, the "retirement" of a priest who may have been a pedophile.

Catholics are good people -- the Institutional Catholic Church is and always has been morally ambiguous.

Watching the media circus over this issue and the deplorable response of Bishops, Santorum, Gingrich, and the Right in General; it's time the Catholic Church gets a response commensurate with its social footprint.

The horrifying and sobering aspect of this subject is the possibility of this propelling Santorum or Romney into the Whitehouse.   Liberals, Democrats, Radicals, Progressives, and Independents should unite behind President Obama (like him or not) because the alternative is unacceptable.

How about an Occupy The Vatican Movement?  Or instead of protestors walking around with the horrific photos of aborted babies on placards how about photos of bloodied rectums or the graphic representation of ruined lives?   It's time to fight back in a meaningful way.
