Is it in your church. Sexual abuse is higher in Protestant Churches, homes, schools. The Catholic Church is way down on the scale. Look it up.
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.
Like a broken record...whenever it is turned on, the needle returns to the same groove.
The touble is, when "the record" is more carefully examined, it can be seen that the comparisons have priests alone on one side, and pastors, sunday school teachers, bus drivers, janitors, just about whomever accused of the same crime if they can be in some way connected to other church groups, on the other side.
This was not only pointed out long ago, it was by explanation and example proven true.
Leaving a case much dependent upon unequal measurement (speaking of "scales") which continues on regards to other aspects.
It goes like this...:
some knuckelhead in an other-than-Roman Catholic Church does something wrong. It is easy enough to find examples of "wrong". That is pointed towards as proof, "see? that church produces "wrong" results!!! We told you! That wouldn't happen if ya'll just be Roman Catholic..."
But when someone anyone Roman Catholic does the same sort of "wrong", well then, it's just that person who is doing it. Not the "church", nor should it be looked towards as being "fruit" of the church, as it was just applied to be towards what can go occur in association to "other than RC" churches.
A recalibration of the instuments used in weighing (scales?) has long been in order...but some around here won't be having any of that, no sir-ee!
