Elsie you prove my point. The Catholic Church has been around quite some while and weathered through way worse storms. Among them being the Reformation. (Which was a good thing too.) - But scandal especially in the hierarchy is nothing new. Is it in any government? Of any human institution?

The point is: Christianity didn't just begin in the year 1500 with the Protestant Reformers, who themselves were quite tainted with scandal and sin- as their OWN theology attests to: total depravity! Right?

God knows who His people are whether in Catholic or Protestant contexts. :)
