Really? Your answer is “ we have less homosexual priests and pedophiles & pedophile enabling than the other churches so we are ok/the true church.”
I am POSITIVE that any church that has an entrenched homosexual clerical group should not be casting stones. If the recent report is true ( & no reason to think it is not), the RCC has a serious rot that compromises it completely. The RCC has a homosexual lobby within its power structure. They recruit & actively seek to advance a homosexual first, Catholic second agenda. That is an abomination.
The RCC needs to clean house or it will implode. IF the next pope embraces homosexuality, contraception, abortion, female clergy, it is over. It will be the final straw in a heavy load of deviance from Christ that will exclude it & it’s followers from God.
“IF the next pope embraces homosexuality, contraception, abortion, female clergy, it is over”.
Catholic dogma does not change. It makes no difference whatsover who the Pope is, The Holy Scriptures remain the same. You are not talking about a show of hands to determine what is right and wrong. Catholic Church dogma remains the same, after 2,000 years. What Jesus started does not change. The below words of JP2 concerning women ordination can also be applied to homosexuality, contraception, abortion, etc.
“On Reserving Priestly Ordination to Men Alone,” is remarkable for its bluntness and the absolute authority that John Paul asserts “in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance.”
“I declare that the church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held for all the church’s faithful,” he writes in the letter.
Fundamentals of their faith make it impossible to ordain women as priests, the Pope tells his bishops, noting that Jesus “acted in a completely free and sovereign manner” in selecting only men as his apostles—the first priests.”
No pope will ever do that. However, it is very possible that the next pope will quietly tolerate those encroachments. And there is no doctrine preventing the next pope from wholehearted embrace of socialism, which will be a wink and nod to the practitioners of those other sins regardless of 'official' pronouncements.

I can't imagine that happening. Yet it has in *some* other church settings, bringing serious problems...with acceptance of contraception being the singularly most widespread.
If there is any good news along those lines, the information is spreading among those whom that care to look, that much of the time the "preventative" purpose or idea of birth control pills often is missed, with the egg not being prevented from attaching in the first place, but is instead loosed and lost AFTER conception has in fact occured, resulting in the common pill becoming an abortificant.
As to another aspect you mention;
There is clear enough evidence there was a concentration of RC homo-priest "teachers" in one school in Minnesota, having been somewhat cultivated while also hidden, yet steps have been taken to correct that...even as much of the rest of the culture we are living in is running headlong towards not only acceptance of gay fagginess, but it's being forced upon the rest of us.
Which is worse? Hidden sin, or sin run amuck, sin openly flaunting itself with no shame whatsoever?
Going back in the OT, we can see homo activity earning the death penalty. Yet so was adultry, ordered to be punished with death by stoning. In the NT, Christ spoke of a man, if looking upon a woman (not his wife?) as to having carnal relations with her, then that man has commited adultry within his own heart...
Woe is us. I don't know where I can go when the time comes that the stones will begin falling from the sky. Perhaps I'll miss that particular phase, not living long enough to see that.
Still, the Lord Himself revealed to me directly, in no uncertain terms, that I myself will be forcefully taken into His presence, by His own power. That there was a strong sense of restrained fury in Him when He did so, isn't exactly totally comforting towards my own fleshly preference of taking it easy, or being lackadaisical in regards to my own life in general.
There will be a reckoning for us all.
For those that have been sought after by Christ, know that we have been bought and paid for with a price.
How can we plead the blood if we reject it? And no, I'm not talking about questions as towards the cup as in RC communion ceremony, which in many instance is drank from only by the priests (some of them queer as 3-dollar Joseph Smith funny money).
If the shed blood of Christ be the only pleading we have, what value shall we ourselves place upon the blood?
It is freely given. After baptism (both of water and of Spirit, John 3:5), we simpy must partake of it. It is the only hope we have of overcoming the sin that lives within. Romans 7.
Please forgive me, if I'm preaching to the choir, for I'm not saying here anything new, that's for sure!
