LISTENING

This work has a nexus that connects each stanza to the next...This i like, tho' i wish the Roman Catholic Church could receive the same respect that the many othger Creeds have been afforded when they too are involved in the same scandalous disgrace as the Catholic Church. There are Rabbi's, Ministers of many Protestant denominations, as well as self-professed clergyen who have tainted the sacred scriptures...yet it all comes back to Catholicism, The Vatican, and that is not fair. The Holy Roman Catholic Church is comprised of tens of thousands of clergy ,throughout 5 continents. It is the single largest Organized Religion in the World(Islam/Muslim, a very close 2nd) When you have 20 or 30 thousand people....there are going to be bad seeds....Since 1985, there have been approx, 200 law-suits faught against the Church for alleged SDexual misconduct...About 60 % were found to be true. These priests were immediately defrocked & many jailed , as well they should have been! Some got off too lightly & were re-located within the Church...This was WRONG ! However, that said...i'll take 125 bad seeds out of 30,000 anyday of the week ! But you will never here the media say that according to the final figures, that it appears that 29, 875 of the 30,000 Clergymen of the Holy Roman Catholic Church are good, pure, trusting & God-devoted workers.....Good poem, though...just venting my voice a might....Oh, yeah,almost forgot...you have a mis-spell... It is WHIPPED, not wipped....-Frank James Ryan,Jr./FjR
