Ecrasez L'Infame

After watching Martin Sixsmith's film about single mothers in Ireland being taken into the custody of nuns and having their children stolen from them and sent to unvetted foster parents in America I find myself wondering why the Catholic Church hasn't yet died of shame.

But institutions have this ability to carry on living and prospering long after the ideals of their founders have been left in the dust.

My thoughts drift towards the British Labour Party.

Because shame is not a gun or a blade.
It is subjective to the being who feels it. If it doesn't feel, it doesn't act influenced by it.

Responsibility- in a body like the Church- is spread wide and thin and no one individual has to carry very much.
