Exactly. The RCC would prefer to blame the victims than look for the malignancy within.
The core of the problem cannot be fixed -- the RCC believes its priestcraft to be "another Christ" - an "alter Christus."
Thus, this special class of humanity is "entitled" to whatever it desires.
And it's ludicrous to believe the Roman Catholic church is "conservative." Left or right, the RCC is grounded in the top-down hierarchy of Roman Catholic social justice theory which is the antithesis of what founded this country and has sustained it for 200 years -- individual initiative and Scripture as the final authority for men's conscience.
Far too true in to many areas on too many issues for too many individuals.
Sigh.
Policy has trumped principle, The interests of the hierarchy are thus equated precisely with God’s interests.
So what’s a few children placed in the hands of homosexuals if a “greater good” is served?
I've never heard that in all my years. You talking to seminary gays?

The Church has been "conservative" in the same way that American conservatives have always been the 18th- and 19th-century "liberals". And yes, the Church has opposed several of the beliefs that underlie American political theory. They are quite conservative that way.
Hence the Monroe Doctrine, by which the young U.S. entered into a collaboration with Great Britain to frustrate the tripartite Hapsburg-Romanoff-papal alliance outlined in the secret codicils of the Treaty of Vienna, which pledged the Catholic (and Orthodox) powers which defeated Napoleon to oppose liberalism (Jeffersonianism) in the New World and help preserve Spain's godly New World Empire, for the good of men's souls. (As they saw it.)
