I think you malign Catholics in your statement. Just because some Catholic priests made some mistakes does not mean that the entire Catholic Church is wrong.

How about teachers who abuse children? Much worse there than among clergy. Just because some teachers abuse children does not mean that all teachers are evil.

You can say the say about any profession. So please don’t generalize.

Salvation, we still continue to see these incredible settlements for what appears to have been (perhaps “is now”) a huge number of problem priests, primarily homosexual in their inclinations.

I don’t see this type of thing regularly happening elsewhere.

My generalization was specific to the homosexuals who seem to have leadership authority to abuse it on kids to the extent that we see dozens of huge settlements. I don’t understand what brings so many homosexuals to the Catholic faith and I don’t understand how these homosexuals get in such positions of power, when the vetting process seems to be many years.

Can you give a good explanation?

The so-called priest maligned themselves. The big dogs of Catholic leadership facilitated the whole mess. Now they are paying the price in credibility and cash. Catholic members are expected to contribute their kids and money to keep the creeps in power. Yes, the entire Catholic church is wrong.
