Because the Church was an obstacle, so it was targeted and infiltrated?
Rule One: No Poofters!
Sex predators have always gravitated to places where they have unfettered access to their chosen prey.
The Catholic Church is not alone. Many churches and religious institutions have been accused of perpetuating sexual abuse, to various degrees.
Uh, because some churches decided to enable homosexuality in the ranks of their leadership. I mean, duh, how hard is this?
Yes, just as during the Cold War, the Church in Eastern Europe was infiltrated.
Show me the church that comes anywhere CLOSE to the catholic church in it's perversions and evil. There is not one.
I don’t buy that these homosexual preists molest boys ceause they cannot marry a wife.
Maybe if they want to try to make the case that other men might be attracted to the priesthood if they could bring their wife with them, they’d only need to look at protestant churches where it also goes on even without the celibacy requirement.
The way I see it, we have two things going on.
1. The Church is being deliberately targeted, infiltrated, and subverted by homosexuals and the Left and has been for decades.
2. Pedos go where the kids are and where they can have authority over them - daycare, schools (funny how we get level of publicity when it happens in schools...), and churches.

The reason this is hard, is because of political correctness.
Few want to say out loud, that there is a problem with homosexual priests.
So this issue is talked of as child abuse or sexual abuse in general terms, without specifically saying who the most likely victims are. Because the media and the church don’t want to draw attention to misbehaving homosexuals.

Sodomites. The church didn’t read their own Bible when they let them join.
Soon after the incident, the first stories of child abuse by priests began to emerge in Boston and elsewhere.
Homosexual men do not all want to trick, groom, and abuse young boys. Priests do not all want to trick, groom, and molest young boys, either.
Men who want to have sex with young boys learn (probably from Pedo groups) that priests have great opportunities and so they go in that direction.
All Pedophilia is sick. But using your authority as a Person Closer to Gd on children is far worse than anything except the parental authority. I was molested by a school authority and that was pretty wrong. But from a clergy it is even worse.
Why?
Are you KIDDING??
Because SATAN and Homosexuals have taken over the church.
That’s why.
The ‘opposition’ is now in charge.
The Catholic Church (and nearly all Christian Churches) has gone soft on adultery, homosexuality and sexual sin. Raising the topic, even for the Pope, means you are “judgmental,” cold-hearted, or uncharitable. it turns off people in our post-modern, hedonistic age.
Yet without an extremely clear, almost reactionary response against such sin and top-to-bottom Church recognition of it - the sin, in all forms, will automatically seep into the Church, its followers, and its leaders. Put bluntly, the Church needs to stand up boldly and confront society -but it doesn’t have the “balls” to do so.
Thus, this contradiction and dissonance will continue to cripple, enfeeble, and continue to weaken the Church. I confess with what I see today, I am a little worried about Matthew 16:18
Has His Popeness bothered to weigh in on this yet?
