Agreed. In the coming months I will be encouraging my fellow Catholics to close their wallets to any contributions outside of their parish (i.e. diocese) until this problem is resolved.
 
It’d be a shame since most of the money goes to fund schools, Catholic Charities, etc., but I think I’m getting close to that point, too.
 
My diocese got half what they did last year. I have to keep reminding myself to give more to the parish and missions etc.
 
The Church keeps saying it is handled and then more oozes out. I am so sick of this.
 
Look at society as a whole, there’s a new scandal everyday.
 
The Church is full of people who are imperfect and capable of Great Good and Great Evil.

I don’t put anyone else on a pedestal except Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother.

This isn’t new, it also includes religious and laity involved in church activities , historically.

There is no clerical crisis. We have all known for a very long time. Why are the blinkers on here

Media sensationalism and a hunt this further destroy the church.

Don’t fall to it.

Be gone satan

Yes people must be brought to justice, you guys need similar to our Royal Commission.

No crisis? I’m sorry, but I beg to differ. Anyone who can read about McCarrick, Chilean seminaries, and Honduras and think there’s no crisis needs a gut check.
 
Crisis , no, Details becoming public of historic abuse, yes.

But hey I can think of incidents in USA, I know of , that I knew of 5 years ago. I would start with Philadelphia.

it’s time to bring to justice whomever is guilty, Be they Priests, religious, or laity, and to
Heal the church.

This reporting serves to further destroy the church.

You probably don’t keep up with Australian News. We have an archbishop convicted and serving time for historic abuse cover ups. And a cardinal set to go on trial

This reporting is vital to the Church! Are you kidding? This needs to be brought to light. I can’t believe what I’m hearing here…

Oh, and we are not talking historic abuse anymore. Google “Chilean seminaries” and see what you find.

Heard about the Australian experiences?

You guys need a Royal Commission type court gathering to investigate the extent of the why , what, when.

No use lighting torches, forming a rabble and dragging clergy out by their ears because their historic peers succumbed to evil
 
I am not having a hard time at all, thanks very much, considering a Cardinal is going on trial for alleged crimes in my , I repeat my, Diocese.

What I am saying is , you guys in USA, not Chile because they are dealing with their experience themselves you guys in USA,

Need a proper thorough formal enquiry. You also need to realise it’s not just priests who perpetrated these crimes,

And let the law deal with it. And the Pope.

Running stories and articles like this just fuels hate and anti catholic sentiment.

Read the article,

Sensational words like this

“The revelations about Archbishop Theodore McCarrick’s shocking sexual misconduct have rightfully shattered Catholic Americans’ confidence in the collective leadership that has been provided by their own bishops.”

See this passage

“While Pope Francis has rightly emphasized the need to respect the dignity of persons with same-sex attraction, he also has repeatedly warned that men with deep-seated homosexual inclinations should not enter seminaries or supervise the education of future priests. But a parallel campaign in Rome and elsewhere appears to be fueling moral confusion and complacency at the very moment that the new clergy-abuse scandals in the Church point to a need for moral clarity and vigilance.”

Where’s the proof of this parallel campaign, and elsewhere. Smacks of medieval suspicion to me, cabals of confusion and secrecy. Sentences like this are meant to whip up anti catholic leadership thought, and anti church thought. People read them and think this is rife universally at a huge magnitude, it’s not.
