br> -- Dick Melville br> Ozone Park, New York /p> p> I sometimes pass over reading George Neumayr since he can be a little too … strident, let's say. But today he nails it. And they wonder why there is a crisis in the Church? It would seem to me that if guys like Cardinal Martino worried more about molestation and less about offending murderous tyrants the world might be a better place. And, while what Lauryn Hill did might have been impolite, I wish that the bishop of my diocese would publicly make a statement as forceful and as unambiguous as she did. br> -- James Siegler br> New York, New York /p>

Now there can be no question as to why the perverted priests were given such a free ride. If President Bush is rebuked for the "way" he brought the brutal tyrant Saddam to justice it's no wonder the perverted priests were sent to country club treatment centers.

I want to compliment George Neumayr's excellent article, "Vatican Shuffler," where he very pointedly calls out the absurd behavior and extreme comments regularly dished out by His Eminence, Renato Cardinal Martino. I agree with Neumayr's assessment that Martino has squandered significant opportunities to bring the moral wisdom of the Roman Catholic Church to bear in a world suffering from a virulent strain of secularism.
