It’s sick that cases of pedophilia or pederasty exist in the Catholic church. Why doesn’t it do something about the situation?
You'd have to be blind or extremely bigoted to post that comment after years of well-publicized reforms. You should be ashamed.
Thanks for your pings.
However, I think I’m just going to march my fingers away from this horrifically dreary topic.

comes through yet again.
The Church has been 'doing something about it' for the past 20 years. That's why the overwhelming majority of the cases of abuse that have come to light occurred from 25-40 years ago. When it became clear to the Bishops that the treatment recommended by the psychiatrists for the abusive priests didn't work, many began to work on getting those priests out of the parishes. Some were slower to do so than others, but changes were made to reduce the opportunities for abuse.
Most Dioceses had already put safeguards in place, even before the abuse scandal broke out in Boston.
