Quote of the Day (Nicholas Kristof, on the Vatican and the Catholic Church)


“[W]hen you read about the scandals, remember that the Vatican is not the same as the Catholic Church. Ordinary lepers, prostitutes and slum-dwellers may never see a cardinal, but they daily encounter a truly noble Catholic Church in the form of priests, nuns and lay workers toiling to make a difference.”—Nicholas Kristof, “A Church Mary Can Love,” The New York Times, Sunday, April 18, 2010

For many of those parishoners, especially in Boston and Ireland, the daily encounters with those priests was the problematic part.
