I have my own theory that the strengths or weaknesses of the Church are amplified with respect to society at large. The Church is both a mirror of society as well as an agent of change, and can both lead in virtue, as well as lead in scandal and decadence.
As sexual perversion is common in society, and is ignored by the Church, it will thus be amplified within the ranks of the priesthood - as we see now.
The good new is - if the Church finds the strength to take a fearless (and decidedly politically incorrect and difficult) stance on homosexuality and sexual since, it will also eventually lead society to a great renewal and reformation.
The elephant in the room is that the homosexual community has infested the RC clergy. It is a huge number. But our modern society is protecting the gay lifestyle. If you say a word about them, you are publicly labelled homophobic. And when that happens public figures such as politicians, government people at any level, owners of a successful businesses, etc. have their careers ruined.
Watch carefully, you will see there will be a full court press to make the homosexual pedophiles, the victims. Honesty about homosexuals is forbidden.
Homosexuals have permeated the Catholic Church. They will never voluntarily or gracefully release their vile grip. It is their intent to discard three millennium of Judeo-Christian consensus that condemns this moral abomination. They will try to the end to alter Church doctrine and teaching to be consistent with the hedonistic narrative now being propagated in Western secular societies regarding homosexuality. Pope “who am I to judge” Francis will do nothing to stop them.
This is organized crime. When to prosecutions begin in all states and federal courts?
