I heard some more bad news for the diocese here in Palm Beach county.
Mark Foley is going to pass the blame on a priest who he says abused him as a child. The parish is in the center of Palm Beach County.

This is a political move to shift blame. An abused child dosen't have what it takes to be succussful in politics unless he abused many others on his way up. A priest who is probably in spirit can little defend himself.

That's why the Diocese called his bluff and demanded he name the priest, so that they can save other kids from experiencing abuse from this priest, whom I suspect is just being slandered by (former) Congressman Foley.

and even if Foley's allegations were true, that doesn't change the fact that he must assume responsibility for his behaviour,as each and every one of must do. we will have to do so at the Throne of Jesus, so let's get used to doing that here and now.
it seems to be the American thing to shift the blame on everyone but ourselves, poor little us, we are the victims, boo hoo. I am reminded of the late Sonny Bono who confronted a stalker on one of those talk shows back in the eighties. this dame was stalking Sonny (eternal memory). she get caught, etc., etc.. so Sonny says that he was a victim of stalking, the dame says that "I too am a victim of stalking".he replies, "you're not a victim, you're a criminal" and wonder of wondrs the audience applauded Sonny.

TO HELL WITH WHAT IS FASHIONABLE AND CONVENIENT,PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much Love,
Jonn
