Today's Mass was a great example of what the Scribes and Pharisees must have looked like in Jesus time. Long slow processions, complete with incense, and screeching opera noise. Ghastly but expensive robes for all to see. Ascending the levels of stairs to rise above the rest of us, just so we know that they are the chosen ones. A bunch of people who think way too highly of themselves. These scriptures come to mind......

Luke 20:46 - "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

Matthew 6:5 - "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

A truly pathetic, disgusting show............

At least he met some of the victims of the sexual abuse and apologized to them. Very late in the piece but better late than never. It seems to have helped some of the victims who were interviewed afterwards. Damage control (cynical)? Trying to appear better in the world's eyes? Was it really heartfelt? (the victims I heard interviewed seemed to think so). If it helped them it's got to be good. Most of us went through too much pain and still await acknowledgment of that.
