The Bishops and Pope, supposedly speaking for Christ on Earth, should of figured it out much earlier, instead of facilitating the homosexuals.

Actually, some of them did. The clean-up started long before it hit the news. At least 10 years. The problem was more in the "expert" culture of the 70's, which has now been pretty much debunked. But if "science" says it's right....

Of course they did, and the record of the past 10 years isn't too bad.

I had a friend who went to a seminary 6 years ago. Before having been admitted he went for a 2-day(!) psychological examination. In his own account, the insults and the questions he was asked were suitable for a sexual criminal rather than for a candidate for the priesthood.

When it was over he was furious at those who screwed up in the past and trashed the dignity of God's call to the priesthood.

I totally disagree with you on this. The RCC has never recognized that any experts had any knowledge she didn't.
Also, the seventies was not a time of recognizing authority.

The problem with this is not pedophilia. It is the men in the church being active in sodomy, condoning it, and the felony cover up of their crimes.
