If you’re talking about scandals in the specific sense I don’t think so. Adherence is falling across most sects not just Catholics and this is centuries long before the current crop broke. One of the great untold stories is how even Muslims are feeling the pinch. In fact the ones doing the best are the most fundamentalist groups, which are supposedly the ones that have this problem the most. Its more an aggravating factor. Now if you’re just talking about scandals meaning the general incompetence of certain religious hierarchies when it comes to facing the current challenges.
Well the scandals do not help just to correct you. Heard on the Rush Limbaugh Minute about the damage the left has done to faith and one wonders why there is so much violence in our world at this time.
