With all due respect, there is something not quite right with your statement. I think it was the Consevatives in the church involved in the decades-long coverup of priestly pederasty.
It was the Liberals who brought sexuality "out of the closet", which resulted in this commonplace practice of child abuse in the Catholic Church being exposed. Until the Liberal press revealed these crimes against children, people refused to believe it was happening.
Here I am defending the Liberal press! I can't believe it!
No,the problem in the Catholic Church in this country is after the initial infiltration with men of a different ideology,usually communist,they stacked the deck and filled the seminaries with homosexuals.Those are the crimes which we read about daily,most of them from twenty,thirty years ago.
Molestations,abuses,rapes and genital contact with teen agers is the big problem. And the perpetrators are homosexuals who seek to recruit and satisfy their desire for youth and beauty with the same act.
The media after breaking the story,suddenly realized if the truth were told,their own "pet perverts"would be exposed. It is a slow and grueling and embarrassing process but slowly people are waking up. The bishops and there are probably about 25 of them,who are working from within to destroy the Church must be outed. Everyone in dioceses who are infested should hold the bishop accountible,let them know with postcards about how you feel. But please be careful to pray and discern,it doesn't help anything to accuse men who are not guilty of protecting and covering up.
So December,the liberals have called attention to the problem but it was an unintended consequence of a different plan. There are some conservative bishops who did try for many reasons;thinking they were protecting society with treatment and keeping them under surveillance,believing the mental health experts and others just trying to protect the Church. Lot of reasons,lots of mistakes but the bottom line was/is the liberals in the media love everything about this except for worrying that too many people are going to start goring their ox before they completely implement their agenda. But we need to work harder and smarter or they will succeed.
