I guess there is a choice of language to be made and word choices nuance the way we understand things. I know we are discussing Catholics discussing Catholic church but don’t you think the phrase ‘the scandal of sin’ sounds like we are trying to soften and obscure the fact that we are often referring to ‘human rights abuses’ and ‘heinous crimes’ and sometimes as an act of penitence we really need to name sin in a more brutally honest way?
