Is a serious matter,in 2000 I went to my local primary school reunion,talk got on about nuns and priests,we joked about who was an alter boy who wasn't(I wasn't lucky),but when I said a guy from my high school class was molested at another school (he went to our high school not primary)and shot himself due to his claim against a priest(who was convicted 3yrs later)being ignored by clergy and police to an extent,until a few more boys came forward.The pupil was only 25 at time.

Who said we were not taking it seriously - I seriously think the Catholic Church is humanity's most corrupt organisation of all time ...
