You are ignoring my question. Why haven't you personally done anything to clean up the Catholic Church?

I didn't ignore it at all. I said, in no uncertain terms, that I am not a catholic, and I do not go to church. I do not go to church because I do not like the hypocrisy of some of those that do. I do not like a preacher saying "with hard work and perserverance, you may some day be as righteous as me", only to find out that he is a wife-beating scumbag (that happened, by the way).

As I am not a Catholic, I have no personal interest in cleaning up the Catholic Church. However, when members of the priesthood are involved in homosexuality and pedophilia, I will not hesitate to point it out. I will not hesitate to attack the hypocrisy of their behavior, or the evilness of their actions.

It is up to Catholics to clean up their own mess. They have been ignoring the problem for decades. They made the mess, they clean it up. A little personal responsibility goes a long ways. If they do not clean it up, it is only a matter of time before lawyers take every dime that the Catholic church has, and it is only a matter of time before high-ranking members of the priesthood go to prison for conspiracy.

If people continue to think that it is not a problem, then the problem will persist until the Catholic Church is destroyed. I do not want that. Do you want that?
