There have been a number of priests, clergy and Vatican officials that have come out blowing the whistle about all the subset cults in the Vatican / RCC. If they are to be believed, it's spine chilling. It's easily documented but to lengthy to post here and no one is going to read massive amounts anyway. Just what we can see from the outside, it's very apparent to me there's corruption, strife, struggle and power plays going on in the holy See. I wonder how that vow of celibacy is working out?

Last I heard there was a bit over 400,000 priests globally and about 3,500 that have been accused of abuse since 2004, and a thousand or so have been defrocked and the other punished in different ways..... that's less than 1%. Show me any organization with that many people who have less bad apples than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's instances in my life where I was abused by an adult when I was a child, and I wasn't about to tell anyone for obvious reasons. What percentage of people would be like me and stay quiet and deal with it, not to embarrass themselves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must also remeber not to gloat too much over what is happening in the RCC, “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.” (Pslam 24:17-18). I am not saying the RCC is the enemy, but if this applies to an enemy how much more so in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
