Everyone is focused on the LEGALITIES and procedures within the hierarchy of the Church. In this case those legal procedures would have to be enacted by the VERY people who are guilty. This cannot be fixed from the top down, but from the parish level up!
I am a Roman Catholic. The Church is the PEOPLE, the believers. We have the power to change the Church, starting at the parish level. When priests are found to be sexual with children(OR EACH OTHER) it is the duty of those they serve to DRIVE THEM OUT. Report them to civil authorities, do not attend Mass, do not put a dime into the parish, raise hell every day. Accept NO payoffs. In blatant,long term cases-yes-vigilante justice.
Do that on the local level everywhere. Priests, Bishops and even Cardinals do not live in isolation. They are surrounded by Catholics who-when disgusted enough- can, and should, drag them and their evil into the light.
If the homosexuals and pedophiles won't walk out they should be dragged out, physically and finally. WE are the Church. Clean house!

Because that's what YOUR Roman Catholic church has set up.....the very Canon Laws you're dismissing.

It makes you sound like.....a PROTESTANT. Luther would be proud of you!

You honestly cannot make this up.....oh wait.

If the College of cardinals elects/selects the new pope, why aren't they the ones to dispose the old one?

I agree with everything you say with the exception of vigilantism.

Stop contributing by all means, but make sure that they know why. People leave parishes all the time.

Catholic Charities has been infested with Leftist for decades. Stop giving but make sure they know WHY. Insist that they break off ties to the Federal Government and stop cooperation with other charities that do not adhere to Catholic morality. It is a sin that Catholic charities cooperates with organization that support abortion.

If your kid is molested, let the Bishop know and also inform him that give the church’s history you yourself will be informing the civil LEO. But you are informing them as a curtesy.

If you know any wealthy Catholic donors suggest that they stop donating to your Diocese and let the Bishop know that they will not donate again until the Church cleans its house of homosexuals and pederasts.
