“This isn’t just a failure of the Catholic Church. It was a failure of all of those institutions who were supposed to act as checks on each other and failed to do so—religious and secular alike. These evil bishops could not have gotten away with the enormities they did without the willing assistance of evil men within the secular authorities.”

Which makes the point that it was not possible to expose it all.

Yes, I see your point, but what *can* the Church do over and above laicizing them? It’s up to the secular authorities to do more.

According to several psychological studies, your response is simplistic. I’ll stick with the experts.

According to the psychology establishment, homosexuality is "normal".

You can hang around with faggots and their apologists, if you like.

Those you call "experts" are lying to you.
