And what do you think is happening to the Catholic Church when priests are sexually molesting minors? And what do you think is happening to the Catholic Church when all the leadership does is move offending priests around just to do it again in another congregation rather than report it to law enforcement because they believe, unbiblically, they are immune to following local rule, ie., Romans 13:1?

Marajade, do you honestly THINK that marriage prevents homosexuality, LOL! Need I remind you of Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson that left his wife for his gay lover? Look on the recent Mennonite thread here on FR where someone confesses that from their church a pastor left his wife for his gay lover.

Shall we start naming Protestant organizations that are guilty of the same sins and are in violation of Romans 13:1? I'm sure there's enough blame to go around if that's the route you want to take.

You're living in the past.

The overwhelming majority of the molestations took place many years ago. The church is now proactive in ferreting out these offenders and confining them to monasteries or laicizing them. And BXVI has undertaken a thorough vetting of ALL seminaries to stop these individuals from getting through the system.

Unlike many protestant churches which are still ignoring the problem while pointing fingers at the Catholics.
