And all articles dated in 2009. This mess first hit the world press in 2002; and after 7 years the Church is still taking an active role in aiding and abetting pedophiles. This does not paint a pretty picture for the Church.
Granted, by and large MOST (99.99%) of the membership are fine, outstanding, morally upright people, and the same percentage perform meanwhile, Christ-like and generous activities - but for the Church to be willing to participate in this behavior - still - is simply unacceptable and puts a bad mark on an otherwise fine institution.
The Cardinal in LA is still in power and he was a major abettor. Also, he refused to cooperate with the DA for years.
You didn’t say a few people in the Catholic Church. You said the Church. That’s a lie.
The first link
All I can find is that the parish is supporting him just as much. There are stupid people everywhere. That Bishop is not “The Church”.

Second link from a blog who seems to have a problem with the Obama protest at Notre Dame, states that the Cardinal suspended the Priest. Again THIS Cardinal is NOT the Catholic Church.
The last two are from Dublin between the 30’s and 90’s.
Not exactly today.
However, NONE of these cases are saying that the Catholic Church is STILL doing anything.
But maybe you just read too much of the MSM where the accusation makes it true.
