Some of them are, a minority, and that’s the problem. They are not being shown the error of their ways or being told to leave, by and large.
Of course a lot of the Catholic Church’s problems in the US go back to a horrific decision that allowed “gay but not practicing” into the priesthood. This has caused some diocese to become nothing more than orgy houses for these sickos as they trade favors and position amongst each other, and drive anyone in the ranks opposed to their nonsense out to the boonies.
The Pope really needs to clean house in many of these dioceses, and many of the laypeople have no idea how bad their dioceses are in regards to this mess.
I believe that some day in the future, the Church will look back at the bishop’s refusal to use public discipline in order to teach what the Church believes about baby butchery as a scandal dwarfing the homosexualist priest scandal. But I reckon it’s possible that we wouldn’t have the abortion scandal without the homosexualist priest scandal.
