One thing to mention after this past year is that Catholics should take some of their energy and put it to use fighting child molestation in the world, not just the Church. Check out Parents for Megan’s Law website especially if they have a sex offender registry in your area. You can volunteer to go to the local police station and look up the info they have on file on sex offenders. Since it is not allowed to be photocopied, the info must be handwritten and then put onto the internet. This group could always use volunteers. The info has to be double checked and kept updated otherwise the whole system is no good. Some may disagree with this kind of stuff but at least there is more of an awareness of how serious a problem this stuff is. John Walsh, a Catholic, had a son kidnapped, raped and brutally murdered. He managed to create America’s Most Wanted and look at all the great good that has done---740 captures!!!. If more Catholics take some of their anger and put it to good use like this, child molestation could become much more rare.
