Let's not be too quick to shift the blame from the Catholic clergy to the Catholic laity. Good Catholic families did send good, young men to the seminaries (where else would one expect a future, good priest to come from?). Scores of these men, upon entering, either left the seminary out of disgust or were outright rejected by Catholic rectors, non-Catholic psychologists, etc. that deemed them "too orthodox" or "too rigid". I think many more potential priests never even contemplated a religious vocation, because of the experiences mentioned above.
Many of the Catholic clergy in charge of these seminaries either supported or ignored a concentrated effort to promote a homosexual infiltration of the highest offices of the Catholic Church.
I, for one, will not accept blame for their sins; and I will hold on to my stones 'till they drop from my cold dead fingers.
I'm sorry, I should have said, "I will hold on to my stones to defend my Faith, my Church and for no other reason."
I did not mean to imply I was judging, I'm just trying to defend.
