The entire rest of the world outside the Catholic Church "has been riddled with debauchery and scandal" for all those 2,000 years also, as well as the group consisting of all the people who lived during the many years before Christ created His Church, ever since the first sin was committed.
Did He wash His hands of all that mess as well?
He will never wash His hands of His own. We are eternally imprinted on His hands. However the day is soon coming when He will wash His hands of those who reject Him and His offer of salvation. That will be a great and terrible day. Got Jesus?

Nice attempt at deflecting, but not everyone is as hypocritical about it as the catholic church. Isn't the catholic church the one and true church? Shouldn't they be setting the example? The only example they've been setting is a very bad one. And there doesn't seem to be any attempt to correct the error of their ways. In fact, the church is doubling down and hoping the media focus on it goes away. Maybe Frankie should come out and declare the world's worst problem today is too much plastic in the oceans, so people forget about the real problems facing the church.
