"Did the Catholic bishops and priests ...."
Why are you looking for moral equivalency ? That's relativism ... nothing more... certainly not gonna get you truth...
Again...no .. you AND I are not anymore important thsn others throughout the millennia - and the crisis in the Church today is not going to make us special ! You seem to think the Church has always been this glorious group of humans that could do no wrong... until now.... that just ain't true... and yes there certainly have been Pope's in the past that would qualify Pope Francis for sainthood...Through schism, and heresies, and corruption (Medici's) yes the Church has ALWAYS existed with saints AND SINNERS.... these days are no exception.... 75 years ago Mussolini/Hitler coulda wiped out the Vatican anytime they wanted to... If you think your worried, think about those days for a second...

I never said we were more important; and you don’t know what I think. Stop making things up. A little honesty from you would be nice once and a while.
