The problem with the Catholic Church is the Catholic Church. The pedophile priests are a symptom of the deep and abiding foundational problems within the organization as a whole. It is a almost completely corroded organization today, and it does more harm than good to the spiritual destiny of those who subscribe to its theology. Im not a 7th Day Adventist, but frankly, I think those people are on to something concerning the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church will survive because of the Holy Spirit. We are now cleaning up our mess, We don't change our tenets according to the latest gallup polls and now after the gay bishop the episcopailins just voted in there will be an exodus that has already started and some will come to the RCC :) Have a nice day!
We are still opposed to abortion, sex before marriage, sex between the same sex, and celibacy will remain.
My only question for some of you who find celibacy to be bad. What do you do for the single people who never marry or become single after divorce or death?
