Of course, for over a year and a half, the tragically Big Issue has been the abuse scandal in the Church. As I tool around Catholic blogs I have always been startled at how little attention Catholic bloggers pay to this issue, and it's one of the gaps I really worked to fill. People criticized me for it, but I thought it was very important. I still do, and the issue is not, by any means dead. I will be blogging on it ocassionally, but until then, don't forget to keep informed on the issue by attending to the links way down on the left, as well as patronizing Mark Shea and Domenico Bettinelli, who do a good job of bringing these stories to our attention.
