Real shame that you, just like the hierarchy would rather see such atrocities within the catholic church covered up rather than be exposed.
Since recent discussions on the religion forum have been debating who are the intercessors within the catholic church, I just thought I’d highlight some of those who catholics choose for such “intercession” between man and God.
BTW, there remains ONLY One Mediator between man and God. And He was Crucified.
My point is not to defend the sexual abuse and the cover-ups, but to say that faithful Catholics are also appalled by these developments. But you use these things to smear Catholicism as a whole. You totally ignore the sex scandals and financial scandals and theological abominations that are also very common in Protestantism (e.g., the “prosperity” gospel and pro-gay and pro-abortion policies)), as much or more so as in Catholicism, but which receive far less publicity.
