ties to the Catholic Church. Whether those students get excommunicated or not, they have surely hurt their church

I think there are many catholics who deny the pedophilia ever happened. Or there is also a contingent that believe the priestly abuse is behind them and the church has healed most of such problems. I have acquaintances in both camps.

Let us just say the racism is something additional to the priestly abuse.

going to happen. Racial bias and and out right hatred seems to be so ingrained in many Congregations of all Religions . Another reason why people are finaly leaving what is called Religion behind . Never forget so many passages from World History books,where it states,Religion was the Opioid of the masses and used to control those same masses by the Kings and Queens ,
