Thanks for verbalizing it so well.
That’s what I’ve thought as well and couldn’t articulate it so well.
Having been raised Catholic and knowing the reverential awe that most Catholics hold their priests in, especially children, I marvel that any would have the strength of will and character to speak up.
For all the hysteria about false accusations, considering the consequences that a Catholic is led to believe that they could potentially face, alone would be likely to cut down on the false accusation tendency.
Dr. Kopp’s estimates that 75% - 80% of the abuse cases are valid is very disturbing. The infiltration is greater than imagined then.
And, FWIW, I don’t have any trouble believing that it is an intentional infiltration by homosexual activists to try to destroy the church from the inside. What gave it traction is that the Church didn’t clamp down on it INSTANTLY when abuse cases came to light.
Thank you. That's what Catholics are trying to articulate when they say that we've been victims in all this too.

The Lavender Mafia has a mutual blackmail racket. They use any immorality, be it sex, drugs, financial impropriety, etc., to silence fellow priests. And they promote their own. It only took a small number of closet homosexuals within the hierarchy in the 1960s to completely undermine the Church's prohibition on ordaining homosexuals, bringing their own up through the ranks and into positions of power and influence. The presence of large numbers of compromised bishops is the ultimate cause of this scandal being perpetuated and not being stopped.
Thank you. I would think that Catholic child’s physical and spiritual has been made a shipwreck. Of epic proportions. Because they were taught. And they believed what they were taught.
