[Cicero]

Catholicism has been going strong for 2,000 years. It's the single longest-lasting institution in the world. It has a billion members.

No organization in this world is perfect. Out of twelve apostles, one was a traitor. But on the whole the Church has done miraculously well. In the context of this larger picture, scandals like this are like fleas on a very large dog.

[ultima ratio]

Out of the twelve, one was a traitor. It's not supposed to be the other way around.

[FreePaul]

When your "very large dog" has fleas you do whatever you can to get rid of them. You don't transfer them to another part of the dog and hope no one notices. You also don't appoint fleas to help you make these decisions.
