{"product_id":"2940033104222","title":"It's Time for the Roman Catholic Church to Show the World What Penitence is","description":"\u003cp\u003eI thought I had heard the worst of it, but then a Roman Catholic bishop in Canada just went to prison for child pornography. In this article, I point out that most clergy live exemplary lives, but I also point out that the church has protected thousands of child molesters and overlooked the terrible harm these priests have caused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI suggest that the Roman Catholic Church become a world-wide model of penitence. The hierarchy of this church can take three steps: 1) an examination of conscience, 2) reform based on this examination of conscience, and 3) develop a doctrine of skepticism toward our relationships with God. If the Roman Catholic administrators do not want to do this, then I hope that people throughout the world do internet-based surveys of survivors of priest abuse. If the administrators won't do what needs to be done, then maybe other people who hold values of justice and care will.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jane Gilgun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077041930480,"sku":"2940033104222","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940033104222_p0.jpg?v=1763656837","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940033104222","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
