The problem was more in the "expert" culture of the 70's

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.

Disagree all you want. I'm going by what the bishops themselves had to say. Ther are the administrators. They relied on "science" and it came back to haunt them. About 10-12 years ago they realized their mistake and began cleaning it up.

As to the rest, it will be a while before we know the whole story, if ever. At this point, all we can do is clean it up and learn from the mistakes.
