Steve Mattson gives his take over at In Formation. As for me, I am very glad Weakland is sincerely contrite:
Each day I will try to leave room for God to enter into my life more and more. Ultimately I understand that the humanity God so loved and sought to redeem, including my own humanity, will be transformed by his loving embrace and grace.
We must pray for more transformations in the hearts of our leaders. We must also pray for the victims of these scandals, the perpetrators, and all who have lost faith because of them.
