The “see no evil” approach to reality fueled the clergy pervert abuse scandal, the Vatican Bank scandal, the Lavender Mafia infestation of the Church, and the present worldwide apostasy. We are called by God to defend the Faith both from without and from WITHIN, not bury our heads in the sand.

“He is totally...I say TOTALLY in charge...of doing with them what is best according to HIS plan.”

Where does free will enter into the equation? Your statement implies that objective evils committed by clergy and the damage their actions inflict on individual souls is “doing what is best with them according to HIS plan”. This is an overly simplistic view of what it means to trust in God. And trust in God and normal human reactions aren’t mutually exclusive. “Jesus wept”. John 11:35

We exercise our faith and we choose to TRUST God. We also pray in that same spirit of Faith. There are those who weep and pray.
