What the hell is up with people using abused children as some sort of sick gotcha when I have an opinion? I am well aware of the failure of the priests. I am well aware we failed to safeguard those children. You think I haven& #39;t agonized about what happened? That I don& #39;t think
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        About those kids constantly? I have siblings. It physically hurts to think that kids their age were molested and abused by some leaders of the church. What do you expect me to do, quit my faith? I choose to stay because I believe I can help change the church, that I can help
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        make sure we can protect these children by praying for virtuous men to join the priesthood, by making sure there is not a single occasion ever again where a child is abused by anyone ever again. What I choose not to do is live my life prejudiced against those priests
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        who keep their vows and are themselves working to transform the church. I choose to become part of the change I want to see. What& #39;s your excuse, random Twitter whiner?
