Because of all the homosexual scandals and the inefficient way in which these are being handled. In my opinion all those priests who sexually abused children should no longer be holding any position of leadership.
For many years, Catholic priests have gotten away with these kind of things. They should set a good precedent so, that these things don't happen again, or they should allow priest to marry women, rather than allow them to rape the innocent children of the world. Instead of sanctifying themselves in church, priests are rather condeming themselves.

True in the past, but no longer.

Marriage is not a cure or a preventive for either homosexuality or for those who prey on children. It's a non sequitur.

I guess I am mostly puzzled as to why you would bring up your displeasure with the Catholic Church on a thread about the Anglican's capitulating. Even the worst things that the Catholic Church may have done was about hiding the fact that dark sins were being committed. This is vastly different from calling sin good.
