RJ, there have been many, many abuses, not just sexual abuse, over the years. There has been injustice, corruption, and many other sins. But the fact that humans sin, and sin horribly, is not a new piece of information. Sin and mistakes don’t negate the truth of Catholic teachings.
If an American does something horribly, horribly wrong, do we conclude that America is a bad nation and we have to leave it? Of course not; we stay and fight the wrong. And so should Catholics stay in the Church and combat what is wrong.
Actually it won’t take long at all when it happens. In three days, people will all be heading for the Catholic Church. But certain things have to happen first.
