I’m sorry, but Catholics like you are part of the reason that the Church is in the desperate state that it’s currently in.

Are you Catholic, or just another outsider looking in, well, not looking in, listening to angry pastors who subconsciously wish they had 1/100 of what the Church has.
I’m Catholic. I think that making excuses for the clergy has led us into the catastrophe we now face. Your post seemed to be excusing Francis’ unjust persecution of Fr. Pavone. If I was wrong about that, then I apologize.
