"Why isn't the Pope in his declining years cleaning the pedophiles and queers out of the Catholic Clergy instead of watching "break" dancing."
Good point, it's a complicated problem indeed.
The Church is also a "hospital for sinners". A hospital can not just get rid of all the patients and declairs itself to be "clear, healthy and free of illness". In fairness, the church does reprimend the pedophiled and queer priests only maybe not to the extents as you and I expected. Saving souls wherever possible is still the primary goal and we may disagree the methods of implementation.

The Church is also a "hospital for sinners". But in this case the problem is the "doctors" probing where they shouldn't.
