I will add that as a Catholic, I am disturbed by and disgusted with the Vatican. A few years back it was the fight over the money at Saint Stanislaus in STL. They fought tooth and nail with that parish over control of their funds, which they didn't care about until they saw how much was there. Thankfully they lost the court battle.
Now it is this ongoing, systemic problem of child abuse with priests and even high ranking members of the church. The Pope needs to come clean, or i say get a rope for the lot of them. Another swamp that needs draining.
They bring discredit to the Church. No wonder people are leaving in droves. I will not support the Vatican until real change is evident.
