Post 4: crisis of the Catholic Church

To begin I can say that I belong to the Catholic Church, so is very difficult to express myself with objetivy. All I know about the church was because of the teaching of my grandparents and parents. I also was part of the church’s activities when I was a monitor of the Confirmation, and I have the privilege to share activities with my church's priest.

Right now we can say that the church is passing through a crisis because of the sex scandals in which priests are involved, this has a direct effect on people who follow the catholic doctrine. One of the solutions that I always hear is that the priest need to get married, the catholic’s common knowledge say that the priest are married with The Virgin, someday I ask to a priest about that and he told me that this is a terrible mistake, so why the priest don’t have a wife, that is because they dedicate their lives to church, with the church I mean all the people that we calls as believers.

All the people are asking why the priest can do these horrible things…. Unfortunately the priests are only men, and they can commit the same mistakes that us, but their conditions, as men of god, implies a greater responsibility for the trust that people placed in them.

The Catholic Church is based on values and traditions; however it is difficult for any man to perform their actions according to these values and traditions.
