To sit on one's a** and let the RCC go the wrong way (as they did with sexual abuses) and do nothing, say nothing... is NOT to love the church. On the contrary, fighting to clean it up and putting their feet to the fire (Bishops), is the way the go

Actually, the Catholic Church took action to clean up the problem in its ranks. Can you tell me what is being done to address these problems?

Sexual Abuse of Children by Protestant Ministers

Sexual Abuse of Children by Teachers

Sexual Abuse of Children by Rabbis

Sexual Abuse of Children by .... Imams, Camp Counselors, Babysitters, Mom's co-habiting partner ..... shall I go on?

It's good to heed the words of Our Lord.

How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,' when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye.
Luke 6:42

Are you comparing the duties of a PRIEST or BISHOP with one of common peon sinner like me?

Oh here we go again. A waste of time. I made my point.
