What is the false doctrine which bred this particular corruption?
I am no fan of the current Pope, especially when it comes to economic and immigration policy.
However, that all stated, I do agree with the Pope that this draconian policy of compulsory clerical celibacy certainly does need review.
Some rather serious accusations there.

could you kindly identify which sect or schismatic group you belong to or are you just another one of those protestants who ‘church themselves’ every Lord’s Day>
I think we need to spend some quality time taking a very close look at the number, type and kind of abuse cases filed against your sect’s hierarchy and whether they have been properly dealt with.

Haselberger said that when she started examining records in 2008 of clergy under restrictions over sex misconduct with adults and children she found "nearly 20" of the 48 men still in ministry. She said she repeatedly warned Nienstedt and his aides about the risk of these placements, but they took action only in one case. As a result of raising alarms, she said she was eventually shut out of meetings about priest misconduct. She resigned last year.

Lay Catholics hold no sway in the selection or termination of an archbishop, with those decisions made solely by the Vatican. But it is rare for even a handful of influential members of the local Catholic community to step out so publicly against an archbishop. They join a handful of local priests who have publicly called for new leadership....[Archbishop John Nienstedt], however, repeated his earlier denial of rumors that he had asked the Vatican to replace him at the head of the archdiocese. “I am responsible for leading this local Church and accountable for ensuring we have safe environments where the Gospel of Jesus Christ can flourish,” he wrote Wednesday.

While some want to bring down the Church, Moslems are attacking and killing Christians. We should get our priorities and focus right -- the focus is on stopping and destroying Islam
