Well, personally, I think it's rather interesting that it is the Michael
Jackson story that draws such a debate--when the Catholic priests,
bishops,
and whomever else in the Catholic Church, have been in the news for at
least
the last two years...and with increasing evidence, admitted guilt,
admitted
"sweeping it under the rug," and adults who were kids when they were
raped
by the priests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the Michael Jackson
case(s), there have been no convictions--only speculation and rumors
thusfar.

I am not pointing up innocence or guilt--only puzzled by the weirdness
of
frenzy for the Michael Jackson story; when we have a whole host of
tragedies--*proven* not just supposed--from the Catholic Church... I
just
don't get you folks...

I guess it depends where you are at, Kim. In this neck of the woods,
there has been a HUGE amount of press and talk about the abusive
priests. Just about every radio and TV station, multiple daily newspaper
stories. couldn't get away from it if you tried. It has slowed a bit
now, as the issue is in a interim stage. But you can count on 10-20
stories per week.

Really. That's interesting. The issue's gotten *some* play down here but
not like I thought it would have been--given the immensity of the problem.
Also, I've not heard of one arrest or upcoming trial, etc.
