That is not much to counter supposed successors to Peter, while i did and do not defend whatever is called Protestantism, and which, being many, cannot be compared with one church. And which is only one of many Catholic and other sola ecclesia churches she is divided from, with substantially divisions within, outside a basic unity, and effectively only rules over herself, and cannot necessarily claim any greater holiness or unity than other particular body of churches.

And Rome is one of the most liberal as regards what she most predominately effectually produces, and on the pertinent issue you seem to be responding to, then Rome has a major problem of a homosexual nature.

15 percent of the clergy polled listed themselves as “gay or on the homosexual side.” Among younger priests 23 percent did so. Los Angeles Times (extensive) nationwide survey (2002). http://www.bishop-accountability.org/resources/resource-files/reports/LAT-Priest-Survey.pdf

44 percent of the priests said “definitely” a homosexual subculture’—defined as a `definite group of persons that has its own friendships, social gatherings and vocabulary’—exists in their diocese or religious order. ^

After examining the official web sites of 244 Catholic universities and colleges in America, the TFP Student Action found that 107 – or 43% have pro-homosexual clubs. TFP Student Action Dec. 6. 2011; studentaction.org/get-involved/online-petitions/pro-homosexual-clubs-at-107-catholic-colleges/print.html

Of course, abuse by teachers is far greater than both:

The American Medical Association found in 1986 that one in four girls, and one in eight boys, are sexually abused in or out of school before the age of 18. Two years later, a study included in The Handbook on Sexual Abuse of Children, reported that one in four girls, and one in six boys, is sexually abused by age 18.[xxix] It was reported in 1991 that 17.7 percent of males who graduated from high school, and 82.2 percent of females, reported sexual harassment by faculty or staff during their years in school. teacher.[xxx]
