The problem I have with post like yours is that you take isolated incidents of individual conduct and assert that those incidents show that the entire Church is corrupt and that the miscondict is widespread. The Church has 1 billion members and 50,000 priests in the U.S. alone. The fact that there are 50 or hundered bad apples over a 40-year period does not inpugn the integirty of the entire Church. It's its slanderous and libelous to continue repeating the same guilt by association argument.
You have got to be kidding.
You need to channel your loyalty to the Church into helping expose and clean up this ubiquitous calamity.
In the Diocese of Lafayette, Indiana, in 1997, the Indianapolis Star staff reported dozens of priests who were homos, pervs, child molesters, etc., etc., who received no sanction, no reassignment, nothing.
There was, and is, to this day, no outrage.
The Bishop who basically smiled, and said, "these things happen" is still there.
For all I know, the guy has been promoted.
At St. Meinrad Seminary, in southern Indiana, the dean of their School of Theology was found dead of a suicide, recently, after a nationwide barrage of these formerly hush-hush incidents came to light in the press.
Why do you think this guy killed himself?
Income tax problems?
Worried about retirement?
Just bummed out?
What is going on in your neck of the woods? I mean, you don't have to answer, but, there are just TOO MANY INCIDENTS TO COUNT now, and you are really in a state of denial if you cannot now accept that the Church has been, through-and-through, infiltrated by satanist queers, pervs, child molesters, paraphiliacs, and enablers.
And that is all there is to it.
Bashing would-be reform-minded individuals by accusing them of disloyalty to the Church, is really counterproductive, at this point.
I am personally sad to see good-faith Catholics now at each other's throats, because of this scandal.
But hey, this is much better that the alternative, that is, continued abuse, continued silence, continued growth of satanism in the Church.
