Well it sounds like the catholic church is haaving serious issues with their Priesthood and Bishops worldwide.

As I mentioned...God has waited for the church to act...they didn’t so he exposed not only the problem but the churches refusal to address the problems...then we find the problem is widespread and the church is infested...still barely a whimper of action...then the church decides to instill new programs to plug the holes...yet continue to keep those who are guilty protected.
And now the Bishops are told not to report suspected abuses to the police...

So you see it is nothing at all about a focus on Christ....in fact quite the opposite...the churches refusal to act is simply putting itself in the hands of an agry God and He will not wait til “Dante’s Inferno” to count heads of Bishops....this is going to go all the way to Rome and the leadership there....which is what they are trying to protect...not the children...the leadership.

The key word is "was" as in the problem was that Rome up until JPII's last years was still too many fiefdoms and not enough pastoral control --> past tense.

God acts through His Church. Remember that all the Holy Spirit guides the Church inspite of the frailities of the tools

All the focus is on Christ, Our Lord and Our God -- we do not keep the pulpit front and centre, rather the focus and the attention during worship is completely on Jesus Christ.
