I guess when one stands back it is easier to see that the usual suspects (in the media) are attacking, through their weapon of molding perception and fomenting emotion, the last formidable impediment to their agenda of homosexual normalization and beyond.
The Catholic Church has stood steadfast against homosexuality, homosexual "marriage", and other perversions, (which makes it a target), against abortion (still a target), and against sin in general.
The perception the Media give is that the Church sanctioned the activities of a few, and that those activities are widespread and extensive, without the perspective of comparison to other entities out there. This plays upon the emotions of those who justly attack the evil acts with vigor, but who are convinced by the bias of media coverage to attack the institution as well, even though the acts are grossly in violation of Church doctrine.
Of course those who desire to pervert humanity will do their best to not only destroy the Church in the media, but to sway as many against it by reporting the actions of a few (who have abandoned their faith while claiming to serve it) as if they were the norm, rather than an aberration.
The results of the perversion of the news are sad to behold.

The rest of the non Catholic world doesn't believe you...
When your popes, cardinals, bishops and priests start aiding law inforcement agencies to prosecute these criminals instead of hiding and shuffling them around to commit more heinous crimes, we then may take what you say seriously...
Thanks for this post and for #352 also.
You said it well.
Your words make common sense and a true sense of justice for all concerned—the need for right and just punishment for the guilty and also justice for all who are innocent, including priests who have remained faithful to their calling.
It’s over-the-top to paint all priests as homosexuals, as men who are not “normal”. That approach does take on the attributes of the kind of media smearing that is thrown at political conservatives. And it also “brands” all Catholic priests as predators, and all Catholics in the pews as defenders of predators. That is an injustice and a mirror of liberal tactics-—the smearing and the targeting of a particular people.
