The point I'm making is the institution is corrupt. If you take away the institution, what remains of the Roman Catholic Church? I was clear by saying this is an institutional problem, and I did not try to paint Catholics as criminals. My problem is with the priesthood, who are loyal to the institution rather than God.

I just mentionned these verses for you.
It's a very personal advice.
You are judging the Catholic Church as a whole.
Again, i am Catholic Christian and you really know nothing about me in order to judge me.
Many Catholic Christians are following the footsteps of our Lord in a the perfect way.
You are failing to see the plank in your own eye.

I've dicussed Matthew 5 in this thread, the OT in relation to NT thread, as well as other threads. I'm giving my opinion based on facts. The Catholic doctrine is clearly inconsistent with God's word as already proven, and an FBI investigation as well as a jury found rampant pedophilia and obstruction in the Catholic Church. You're giving me the wrong advice, because I am not judging anyone. That's up to God, but you don't turn a blind eye to criminal behaviour and reward filthy acts through forgiveness. You have a warped view of Jesus' teachings.

Again, if what you are saying is true, then the Catholic Church committed a huge mistake.
I think that those priests are/should be banned from service and presented to the governmental justice.

That's the response I was looking for. Thank you. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church does not share your point of view. They would rather pay out hundreds of millions and forgive & forget. Cardinal Mahoney is still cardinal.

P.S. i am not trying to throw my accusations on secret societies including the Free Masons and the Illumanities, neverless, such groups are having a bigger influence in the Vatican day after day. They are growing like mushrooms.

The Vatican is responsible for what happens under it's umbrella.
