By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register - Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia, "...The elders of the faith community have the task of passing the truth of the Gospel from age to age, undamaged by compromise or deformation.

Shaping young lives is hard work in the face of a hostile culture. The clergy sexual abuse crisis is precisely a result of the self-indulgence and confusion introduced into the Church in my lifetime"...
