No, but these fallen leaders need to be gone. Simple as that. Unfortunately, the hierarchy tends to protect them instead of the people they serve. That is a major problem!

Remember Saul or St Paul who persecuted the early Catholics.

Sometimes, good things happen because of past experiences.

I would like to live in a perfect world, yet I place my trust in the Lord and His Church, and understand that the Church members and leaders are sinners also.

In my younger days, I also lost faith in the leadership of the Church and felt that there was not a Holy atmosphere in the Church. Now, I have embraced a a relationship with God and I am trying to lead a Christ-like life. I see the Church and its leaders like a family with its crazy uncles and aunts. We need to endure and accept them but not always their deeds. When we as individuals lead a Christ-like life, then more will follow.
