Note to all Catholics and Non-Catholics THERE ARE SINNERS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH! It still does not make the Catholic Church wrong. It is not a reason to leave the church. There has always been sinners in the church. The Holy Spirit protects the message of the Church. If people leave because a priest or bishop has sinned then they do not know what it means to be Catholic.
Sorry but I don't agree with you at all!... These are different times, we have means (Internet) to make our voice heard now... To sit on one's a** and let the RCC go the wrong way (as they did with sexual abuses) and do nothing, say nothing... is NOT to love the church. On the contrary, fighting to clean it up and putting their feet to the fire (Bishops), is the way the go, I feel this deep down in my heart. One thing our Bishops have demonstrated is that they can not be trusted... completely. They seem to be caught on the wrong side of things too often.
AMEN!
I would add that they don’t know what it means to be Christian.
If they think that they can tag anyone who is imperfect and attends church as a hypocrite then they clearly do not understand Christianity.
We are all sinners. We all know that.
