Tom Toles says something I've been thinking

One of the problems with the leadership of the Catholic Church, at least in my view, is the inability to admit to mistakes. Somehow the higher someone ascends in the Church, the more likely they seem to be to forget that they are human, with all the imperfections that are part of the human animal. There are so many issues where the Church would be better served by admitting they were wrong and allowing more transparency. Of course, I'm not holding my breath waiting for any such change in attitude.
