  Child abuse is as old as history itself but we have only recently discovered that we can be appalled by it. It is less than one hundred years since kids were pushed up chimneys. The priests and nuns who victimised and traumatised the children for whom they were supposed to be caring should clearly not have done what they did - but look at the broader picture: the abuse was institutional and widespread, in and out of the church. It was a way of life which viewed those poor kids as somehow less than human and it was allowed to continue by the people running the country and running the show, who must also bear responsibility. I repeat what i have said before: faith and religions are not and should not be defined by the people who manipulate them for their own gratification. Faith and religion are sources of growth and spiritual fulfillment and should not be confuswd with the cults developed by the dysfunctional few.
