Supposed to be at work but... there is no work, so...

Commenting on stories around the globe:

Focus is on Catholics as there have been 6000 priests found so far in U.S. parishes who were pedophiles. Aiding and abetting them was official policy of the Vatican. No one is focusing on a religion, it's an institution that because of inherent secrecy and Dark Age practices, an epidemic of pedophilia went on for decades. There are Tens of Thousands of adult victims in the U.S. now as a result. I write as one of the victims at City of Angels Blog http://cityofangels8.blogspot.com and what happened in the CathChurch cannot be compared to any other situation, no matter how much the Vatican points the finger elsewhere.

Posted today at Off the Grid at Vanity Fair:

GUAMKUAM

Guam - The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests is hoping to provide a support group for individuals on Guam who have been victims of sexual abuse at the hands of members of clergy. In preparation for the support meetings that will be held over the next two days, the organization uncovered some disturbing information about clergy who have spent time on Guam in the hopes that victims of sexual abuse at the hands of priests or other church members will have the courage to come forward.
