x, you don't understand the Church. You speak as if it's a monolith.

I understand it quite well. You have a hierarchy and a alleged Vicar. Although the current one would lead one to question the 'who' of his vicarage. My disappointment in Catholicism isn't limited to the Pope. Nevertheless, the questions on immigration, AGW, and economics stand. The words and actions coming out of the Vatican don't square with the values of Western civilization or its law.

"The Vatican" is not the The Church.

In the article, there are two interesting points made: one is about legalism, the other is about "scapegoatism".

I commend them to you.
