At USA Today, journalist Melinda Henneberger has announced in an editorial that she is leaving the Catholic Church over the child sexual abuse scandal.
When and if the bishops do fully rouse themselves, I won’t be in the pews to hear about it.
I am a true-believing, rosary- and novena-praying graduate of St. Mary’s Elementary School, the University of Notre Dame and l’Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium. I covered the Vatican for The New York Times and was a fellow at the Catholic University of America’s Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies. I never thought it would come to this.

Isn’t leaving the Church over the actions of bishops a bit like leaving journalism over the actions of journalists?
