Because the Church was an obstacle, so it was targeted and infiltrated?
The Catholic Church is not alone. Many churches and religious institutions have been accused of perpetuating sexual abuse, to various degrees.
Yes, just as during the Cold War, the Church in Eastern Europe was infiltrated.
Exactly, and if you look around you can find an amazing number of different well funded groups which you'd think were on different sides of every issue who put a lot of money into placing their people in seminaries and the lay ministry or administration of large parishes.
The fact that this is all the result of a long time plan is actually obvious from the fact that the media formerly known as mainstream along a very large percentage of non-Catholics yelling and waving their hands over this actually praise people for "coming out" as queer, deny that there are only two genders, deny that adult males molesting children is typical homosexual behavior, and deny that pedophilia is a perversion when anyone but a Catholic is involved.
There's nothing quite so obviously agenda driven as a dolt like Dolan saying one day, "good for him" when someone "comes out" as queer, then acting upset over his queer pals in the clergy behaving like the queers they are. The way the hierarchy hid the truth shows that people like Dolan who now infest the Church are actually upset that these people were caught, not that they committed the sin of pedophilia or pederasty.
The church welcomed “non practicing” homosexuals into its ranks begining in the 60s... this is the end result...
Yes abuse happened before... and yes the church betrayed everything right by covering this up.. but they let a cancer in that now must be removed but won’t even be honest about what the problem is.
