If a parent, for example, discovers that Fr. So-and-so -- or any other person -- is raping his child, do you and/or your friend believe the proper course is to "take it to Mary", or is there some other course that is more sensible, responsible, etc?
FWIW, the "just pray about it" attitude, the attitude of your friend, enabled the annihilation of the innocence of MANY. This is a demonstrable fact, ugly as it may be. This is true within the history of the CMRI, as is well known at this point. There are many who still suffer from the ill effects.
