How can you tell good people from bad people?
As you must have found in your own experience of life, it isn't always easy. One of the skills of many bad people is the ability to charm and deceive.
People who are called to a higher station are not always what they should be, including policemen, politicians, judges and even clergy. At the end of the day, they are still people.
Let's remember, a full one twelfth of Jesus' hand chosen was corrupt and evil. It just goes you can't blindly let your guard down with any mortal soul.
Well, again, that would be like extrapolating the character of Judas one the Twelve Apostles.
There are a hand-full of truly bad diocese in America. They are the ones with the problems, they are the ones in the news.
I am in a diocese with no problem with homosexual abuse cases. But, the media doesn't have a thing to say about that. Their Leftist agenda is to attack the Catholic Church because they know at the end of the day, it is the Catholic Church, more than any other entity that stands in the way of their agenda.
