What??? You think a Protestant should research a Catholic problem and offer up Church discipline? I'd be laughed out of the Vatican. There are a number of posts of Catholic misdeeds. Nothing is ever acted upon. It is nice to see that they are taking some steps to address the pedophile issue but it comes after billions of dollars in judgments.
Again, such a broad statement.
This is simply a diversion.
If I was to point out this specific article as an example, undoubtedly I would hear this is an isolated instance. However, if I speak in generalities you say it's too broad. So let's focus on the email. Do you honestly think the archbishop is doing anything to discourage the pagan customs listed in this email? Do you think there is any Church discipline that is going to be exercised?
L.A. Cardinal Mahoney's blind eye and ugly indifference while he's being deposed are terrifying to watch, which in turn led to the L.A. Archdiocese paying out $660 million in one day alone!
I'd even recommend watching this documentary with your children (older than 12 perhaps.) It's important to teach children that even men who tell the world they are "another Christ" can commit terrible, life-destroying sins and then lie about them.
And the RCC will stand mute for as long as it can to protect them.

No you wouldn’t. Protestants don’t seem to understand that right is right and wrong is wrong. If the Catholic Church says something, then it is. Unlike the unenlightened churches of men, it is guided by the Holy Spirit.
You might be surprised if you tried. Frankly, I wish that you would, if you spotted some departure from teachings.
