In a coloring book for altar boys titled "Being Friends, Being Safe, Being Catholic" published by the Archdiocese of New York, the Church addresses molestation by having an Angel tell a disrobing child not to be alone with his Priest ("for safety's sake"). Has it really come to this???
Next up: A safety coloring book for Congressional Pages...



Sad it is, but I would give exactly the same advice to my own child, so I don't find it surprising.
Clearly one can't expect much effective preventative action from the US bishops with regard to protection of children.

Next time, spell altar correctly.

What is the priest doing with his hand? It looks like he is slipping on some kind of rectal examination glove.
