[Servant of the Nine]

It's very clear that pedophilia is the taboo currently in the sights of the nihilists. Who can speak out against it now? ... the final obstacle is out of the way for the final descent.

And whose fault will it be?
Did the nihilists drug priests and make them pedophiles?
Perhaps they used their mind destroying rays on the bishops to force them into complicity?

The Catholic Church can not effectively speak on pedophilia because their heirarchy has become indistinguishable from NAMBLA.

Every Bishop who has condoned or covered up for priests must go before the Church can hope to regain any moral authority.

I absolutely agree with you. The hazard of the Catholic Church, and I hope Catholics here realize I am not bashing, is that the focus has been on the Church, rather than on God. Defending the Church is not the same as defending God, and the Pope is not God's spokesman here on earth.

Homosexual pedophilia has reached the proportions it has because it was covered up to prevent a scandal from being created in the church. Once these priests found that the church would turn a blind eye to their transgressions, there very likely became an "underground railroad" recruiting new members. Remember also that the Catholic Church is in many third world countries where there is no cultural taboo against homosexual pedophilia. In this event, if a child molestor could get into the church, all he had to do was not slurp too loudly and he had a ticket to ride.

Had the original perpetrators been dealt with appropriately, the church would have received a black eye with the revelation, but the other possible perps would have probably left the church to avoid the same penalty. Now, the church may be dying from a thousand cuts.
