"I'm tired of hearing
all about the bad priests. The media over does it. How about all the good
priests. Does anyone say anything about them in the media? I haven't seen much
lately."

Thank you for your
comments. I agree that the media can sometimes seem to obsess on the 'relatively
small' number of bad priests (who have committed horrible, heinous, abominable
sins to be sure), but they pretty much ignore the many good & holy priests who
do so much good in the world. As I used to participate in putting together the
news coverage on this site, I clearly know what you are referring to. Although
some Catholic media outlets have undertaken to speak of the good priests,
generally the mass media seems more interested in discrediting the Church. I
guess this should be as no surprise, given that the Church is Christ's body
(Rom. 12:4-5,1 Cor. 12:27, Eph. 1:22-23, etc.) and is THE voice for morality in
this ailing world.
Please note that we do
have a section on our site where visitors can post information about good
priests (using only an initial to refer to the priest - e.g. "Fr. A"). If you
know of some good priests, we encourage you to post about them on our site so
that others can read about them. You can do so at the Priests & Vocations
section
here.
