I agree with the Holy Father a hundred percent, that the crux of
this problem is "the lack of respect for the human person" that persists in large
portions of the Church's hierarchical structure. I cite the following
as a classic example: for 5 years now, I an ordinary Catholic try to
get an appointment with a Cardinal in Cracow, Poland, and for 2
years with a Bishop in that town, in vain. This says it all: if
those who are entrusted with being shepherds refuse to talk to the
sheep, they do not have respect for the humans behind the "sheep"!
On the contrary, they regard all humans whom they deem "of little sociopolitical and
economic significance," as "sheep," rather than humans ... sheep in the derogatory sense, not sheep as "flock"! Powtarzam to
samo po polsku: jeœli ci, których Pan Bóg ustanowi³ nad stadem, jako
pasterze, wzbraniaj¹ siê za wszelk¹ cenê od spotkania siê z
ich "owcami", oznacza to, bez ¿adnego mo¿liwego w¹tpienia, ¿e oni
nie szanuj¹ swych owiec jako osoby ludzkie! I to, tylko to,
spowodowa³o pedofiliê w Irlandii, a nie, jak niektórzy mówi¹, to ¿e ksiê¿a siê nie ¿eni¹!
