NOOOOOO, the Catholic Church scandal was a coverup scandal.

You are partially correct - indeed, some Bishops did willfully ignore the abuse or cover it up because of fear of scandal. And that is what secular anti-Catholics want to focus on

BUT - the key question remains - WHY did (male) pedophilia become a problem, beginning in the 1970's?????

SOME? How about all knowing about it, but only SOME were the ones who actively had to move these predator priests to new parishes to prey on fresh victims. ALL the bishops knew about it and did NOTHING.

I know you’ll blame this all on homosexual priests. And that’s great and all. Whatever gets you to sleep at night. But the failings of the Catholic Church from Bishops level on up is reprehensible. Defend it all you like. They are as guilty as JoePa and the scum at Penn State.
