I would say forunately!" Colin, I meant, unfortunately for you. What you experienced should never be visited upon *anyone.* And about Catholics questioning the very meaning-giving structure of their church: I'm sure many will decline to do so, but I see many others here in my home city and in the U.S. doing just that. This moment may prove to be a sea change of the U.S. Catholic Church, or even for the Catholic Church in general. And that may prove to be the only silver lining that can possibly be found in this scandal. . . even though it can never be enough, and can never restore what has been so cruelly and arrogantly taken away.
