I’m very glad to learn that homosexual predation on young boys by what must have been a small segment of the Catholic clergy has been ended by the Catholic Church itself instead of by government authorities. I could never understand why something that awful and immoral could have continued in the Church for any long period of time without being discovered and eliminated by whatever means were necessary. Thanks for the update on that issue.
It used to be thought that such things could be ‘fixed’. The Church relied on psychologists, etc. Mistakes were made, which excuses what happened decades ago. However, there are recent mistakes.
The Pope mentioned a gay lobby in the Vatican - while those surrounding him backpedaled, they never really denied it. There are still problems, but he has appointed a small council of cardinals from every area of the world to determine what should be done to reform the curia (administration).
