The problem is that they're part of an organisation which preaches the so called "right moral behaviour". To me it seems that many Catholics aren't that bothered by these events and seem to accept them as an inevitable problem within the church. Even when scandals like this continue to pop up the number of
members in the church hasn't shrunk.
There's even bizarre stories of people knowing about Catholic hierarchy abusing young members in their own congregation and yet they still seem to stay loyal and don't want to demand any really reform for fear of going against Catholic tradition and teachings. I just don't get it, you wouldn't allow a headteacher to be appointed if you knew they had sinister intentions, yet this case has highlighted the church is prepared to do the opposite and defend its clergy, no matter how sinister their actions.
You wouldn't want a paedophile living on your road, so why are so many people cool with paedophiles running their church organisations?
