Somehow, I doubt it.
Of course, I want justice but sometimes it doesn't come easy. It will make you insane if you start brooding over the matter over and over again how can I get back to this person/s who did this. That's why I said that.
So does this mean I should not trust the police? I don't know what's going on, why they can't arrest them. Same here, we don't know what is really happening, why was there a cover - up, who are really involved, why these people were not arrested? So do I leave the Church because they betrayed me and my faith?
That's why as Catholics we are often told to pray for our spiritual leaders to enlighten them since they are humans, too, and sometimes they forget that they are supposed to be "good examples of the the faith" instead of power tripping for political gain inside the administration of the Church. There will always be those among us who will betray the Church.
