Yeah, and that whole "poke the altar-boy" cover-up was a recruiting dream.

Good point. Others may disagree.

I hate to break it to you, but there are sinful members of the Church, since the Church is made of sinful human beings. But sinful behavior does not affect the accuracy of the teachings of the deposit of faith handed down from the apostles in the Church. Those teachings survive despite, not because of the actions of Church members. Thus it is simply wrong and unfair to compare the recent failings with regard to clerical misconduct, which I do believe can be attributed in some part to a misguided charitable endeavor to forgive sexually-troubled priests and partly to an effort of homosexualists to infiltrate the Church, to some completely baseless claims that the first Christians two millenia ago falsified the fundamental core beliefs and events of their religion and have been covering it up ever since.
