Kim,

There is a lot of ongoing coverage of the problems with the Church. What I
don't understand is how Michael Jackson keeps having kids over at
Neverland - and he has admitted having them in his bed (which is not a crime
in itself, but raises a lot of doubt).

Priests are not known for being rich; Michael Jackson is. Yes, problems
were swept under the carpet for a long time as the Church is big, but the
individual parashes and priests didn't have the wherewithal to keep it
hidden forever. I also don't think the individual priests would have kept
their 'secrets' for any length of time had they had the visibility that
Jackson has.

Speaking of news stories - whatever happened to that pharmacist that diluted
the cancer drugs down to 1% and got rich doing it? Sure didn't hear about
that much more, did we? Personally, I'd trust drugs out of Canada more than
drugs in the USA. Too much leeway and welfare for big business. I notice
that the drug companies can force the government as to how they buy drugs.
Let a small company try that LOL. Just my opinion.

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...
