I don't think that is entirely true, but the bad actors do get more publicity and they have a large and consistent cheering section. The devil is powerful and he loves to go after clergy. This is nothing new and this too shall pass. We know not why God allows this, but there is a reason for it. The Church will survive, it may become smaller at some point, but it will be stronger.

The 1960's brought on a lot of these problems. Those of us born in the 60's have been tossed about from fad to fad. Some people assume malice where there is merely ignorance. I am bolstered by the fact that I have known many young priests, those under 50 who are strong in the faith. They just are not in charge now. I trust that when they come to power, things will change.

I often wonder what people expect the average Catholic to do? Should we murder Cardinal Dolan and other bad actors? Should we burn down the universities that hold themselves up as Catholic but have lost their way? What do you think we should do? I should leave my Church because there are people in it who are sinners? We are all sinners, if we weren't we'd have no need of a savior.

The Church has faced this kind of thing before, it will survive.

The reason Dolan should resign is Dolan is not a Catholic. He renigged on that when he started giving communion to rabid pro-abortion politicians. Dolan also did nothing to slow down the Cuomo-led same sex “marriage” false in NY State. Cuomo also shacks up with his girlfriend in the Governors mansion but this does not bother Dolan in the least. He still gives him communion.
