I don't care if the rest of the world is doing it, lower percentages don't make it right.

That's quite obvious. You people only seem to get upset when it occurs in a Catholic setting. And then y'all get in a tiff when it is pointed out that there is actually less of it going in within the Catholic Church.

No, we get upset at the inaction of the church in the matter. There is simply no possible way of preventing stuff like that from happening some where at some time.

In Protestant churches, it’s dealt with. You can argue that it happens in both and it does, but show me where Protestants let it fester and grow. Or that they cover it up by rearranging parish assignments.

The one case of adultery that I knew of involving a Protestant minister, did not even include molesting children, and yet he was removed VERY promptly. His credentials were revoked immediately and he was out so fast he probably didn’t know what happened to him.

There is simply no excuse for the inept dealing with it that the Catholic church demonstrates over and over again. The Catholic church is being disobedient to the direct commands of Scripture by not purging the evil from within them.

What good is it doing paying lip service against homosexuality in the world and letting it fester within its own self? That’s hypocrisy.
