The Catholic Church needs far more scrutiny, as does every religious institution, in terms of their abuse of power and sexual misdeeds. Your account of the school made me feel repulsed, and I wonder how many others had similar experiences. Men in power should answer to a much higher standard and not be hidden within the church without facing the justice their victims deserve. As once a girl in the Catholic Church, I feel fortunate now that I spent no time with the preists alone, as girls were treated like second class citizens at that time and not allowed to participate in the mass -- nor even stand on the alter during service. Perhaps that was a lucky break for me.
