Simply this: Seek out and retain friends, in college and afterward. I know some very talented adults who feel justified in having few or no friends because no one meets their high standards. Perhaps these perfectionists are being authentic to themselves, but every one of them is also authentically lonely. No matter what riches, fame or influence you might acquire in your lifetime, none will contribute to your happiness or fulfillment in the same way that a group of close friends will. Find them, cultivate them, retain them. They will prove themselves imperfect...
First, the institutional church has to acknowledge the magnitude of the damage. The Pope's cryptic paragraphs at the end of his Holy Thursday letter to priests hardly constituted a ringing mea culpa. At a stiff press conference afterward, Dario Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, a contender for the next pontificate, short-circuited the avalanche of questions with a sample of Vatican stonewalling, sternly defending current policy. Citing the "serious and severe" internal rules the church has applied to pedophile priests, the Cardinal looked up from his text and asked what other institutions had such guidelines.

While a band led by Martin, perhaps the greatest Swiss reggae musician of all time, jams some funkadelic Marley, I drink vodka-and-Red Bull with some newfound Cantonese friends. Afterward, we shamble to Windflower, tel: (86-20) 8358-2446, a relaxed music pub with a botanical theme. Vodka is replaced by Jack Daniels, and my sobriety is misplaced somewhere on the floor. Bourbon, vodka and unstoppable Cantonese drinkers do not a healthy combination make...
...over for me. In my mind I was thinking he'd be holier now, he would certainly not want to continue doing this sort of thing." But O'Connell did. Finally, in 1991, Doe severed contact with the bishop - but says the abuse at St. Thomas and afterward left him dealing with serious depression and suicidal tendencies. He once attempted a drug overdose on aspirin and Tylenol, and spent much of his young adulthood mutilating his arm and wrists...
