When your children, teens and young adults ask, “Mom, if the Catholic Church is really of God, why would He let terrible scandal happen in His Church?”

Dr Ray, I like your analogy of the marriage. And your argument makes logical sense. But you didn’t touch on how to feel safe or trust the priest. How, myself as a mother no longer feels comfortable with allowing my son to run freely in the church. I find it hard to separate the sacraments from the hands of corrupt priest. I no longer look at past Popes the same. It just feels tainted. I love our Lords church. But I am just struggling with differentiating the two.
Hi Katherine, Katie here – Dr. Ray’s website admin. He discussed this topic on his radio show. I’m getting that audio and putting it up on his audio blog. I’ll check back in here to let you know when it’s posted. Hopefully today. God bless! Katie
Hi Katherine, (Dr. Ray’s admin here.) Dr. Ray sort of touches on this topic (indirectly) on his radio show from 8/30. If you listen to his monologue at the beginning, it might help. I suspect he will be addressing your concerns more specifically on a future radio show monologue. He’s on the air Monday through Friday 1pm-2pm eastern. Here’s a link to his radio shows podcasts. https://avemariaradio.net/program/the-doctor-is-in/. I hope this helps. God bless, Katie
