The Church hierarchy is obviously corrupt to the core.

And you make this judgement based on what? The behavior of Cardinal Law? The American bishops in general?

There are 4,439 bishops worldwide. The US Catholic population represents about 10% of the Catholic population worldwide.

The Catholic Church is the greatest "charitable organization" on earth. You will know a tree by its fruit.

I meant the American CC. There is certainly something very wrong with the Church hierarchy in the US, it's charitable work notwithstanding, wouldn't you say?
