One of the main reasons for the current scandals is that the heirarchy ignored the obvious warning signs for way too long, including an increasingly militant homosexual presence in the clergy, which was compounded by covering up sexual misconduct. I am sympathetic to the victims of this awful policy and the good, holy priests who have unfairly been tainted in an environment where (no doubt) some people see an opportunity to turn a tragedy into an agenda and a quick buck.

I'd go further: apparently the leadership is in league with the problem.
