A number of years ago this blogger commented to a fellow Dominican that there was some similarity between living in 'religious community' or diocesan priesthood and living in the former GDR where people did not know who was working for the MfS - Stasi.
Is it at all possible for people to live in groupings where there are such disparate views and opinions, where people do not speak the truth to one another?
And then there is all the so-called theology spoof.
The current disclosures bombarding the church have their genesis in an underlying fundamental dishonesty that goes on within the so-called institutional church.
A good analogy - the recent rail crash in China might have to do with a signalling problem but there is a far deeper underlying problem in China.
If the church concentrates on cleaning up the current sex issues, refusing to look at the deeper issues, it will do very little in getting to the heart of the problem.
