Thank you. Yours is about the most self-satisfied sanctimonious unmerciful ungrateful attitude I have ever seen.
So now a horrible crime, pedophelia, is dressed up in sugar and spice to be simply a "fault".
Listen up. The Bible says that if you violate one part of the Law you are guilty of all of it. You are no better. you have been saved from the consequences of your sin.
And you use that freedom to throw stones at others.
Sorry for my saying so, but you need some serious help if you can't make the distinction between a "fault" and a horrible crime.
Murder is a horrible crime. So no murderer can ever repent and become right with God. Is that your position?
Can no person who has faith ever lose control and murder, or steal, or lie? Does that mean, automatically that they have no faith? Or does it mean that they lost control?

Sure they can but do we have to take communion from the same hands that have been fondling some 12 year old in the meantime?
Drivel, drivel, pure drivel. The RC Church has re-defined sin, to where it seems it's a badge of honor for a representative of God to be a sinful person.
You say, Warts and all, in a bragging sense, like we know we're the true church because we tolerate more sin within then any other church.
Paul would have disbanded your whole church had he been here.
He put a man out of the church at Corinth for doing a lot less then these priest you defend.
1 Cor 5:1. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
V-5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
V-6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
You and other Catholics who justify sin in your ministry, are as Paul said, glorying in your sin by justifying it.
You justify it by claiming compassion and forgiveness, and asking others to ignore it unless they are perfect.
You are glorying in your liberalism of sin.
