I refer to the letter God's Church One Body by Joanna Farrugia (July 15) standing up for one Malcolm Lowell and all the clergy in Malta.

She asked the question: Is the Church the only institution that is not perfect? My answer: No but one would expect the Church of Christ to be perfect, compassionate and yes, flawless.

She said that the Church is founded by Christ and priests represent Christ. I don't think so. The Church today is one of the richest empires. I don't think the Church today is what Christ had in mind.

She said people always attack the Church, yet people always expect the Church to be ready to serve. How is the Church serving? In Iraq many thousands of people have been killed and more are being killed yet the Church's silence is deafening so as to keep the US President on its side. I do not see many priests feeding the starving people in Africa.
