Absolutely. I've been a catechist in my parish for years (RCIA: teaching adults preparing to come into the Church) and I say that wherever you are, if you see or have any grounds to suspect some priest is on the make for anyone (child, teen, adult, male, female) you call the police, the press, and the Bishop: in that order.

As far as I can see, my Bishop is NOT one of the wolves (or weasels) and my parish priests are good, upright and honest men. There's a strong level of mutual respect. I hate to see the whole priesthood tainted with this filth. But all in all, experience has shown the secular justice system is more likely to spring into action than the Catholic chancery office.

Which is a disgusting shame.

Sadly, I have to agree with your approach. The Church will only be cleansed by the laity demanding it. Many forget that the laity really is the true body of the Church. Remember that every member of the clergy comes from the laity. That power has been used to steer the Church back on course over the centuries when its leaders faltered. It's time for it to be used again.

It's been long believed that the true Third Secret of Fatima was the apostasy of the church hierarchy, which is why it could never be revealed. But it's become increasingly clear that we're living through that prophesy now.
