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.
All Christian churches, not just the Catholic Church, have fleas, lots of them.
The media only prefers to see the Catholic fleas.
But anyone with any knowledge of these kinds of scandals knows damn well there's just as many fleas, if not more, in other churches, despite the silence.
