Is the Catholic chuch morally corupt?

Answer 1

No.

The Church is the assembly of the People that God has called together from the ends of the earth.

But a few of it's leaders and members probably are. morally corrupt.

The Church is filled with sinners trying to become saints and sometime a few fail.

Remember Jesus Christ came to save the sinners of the world.

A few stupid or evil people do not corrupt the morality of over one billion Catholic Christians.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

The Catholic Church had several opportunities to provide moral and religious leadership in dealing with pedophile priests and failed miserably!
Coverup and denial seemed to be the most common response. Instead of honestly admitting there was a serious problem and taking immediate corrective action. So, someone in leadership positions had to be morally bankrupt to allow the deceit, lies, and protection to continue.
Is the entire Catholic Church morally corrupt? No. But like any large organization, some people refuse to do the right thing and then attempt to hide their involvement. The church is no different.

Answer 3

There are corrupt individuals and groups within every sizable organization and it is the practice of such to circle the wagons and plead plausible deniability. Of course this never works in the end and the entire organization is stained by the actions of a few. For one to judge, on balance, the benefit or detriment to society of any particular organization, one must evaluate it in total over time. And while the Catholic Church has had more than its share of black marks, overall it has been of great benefit to the world. Just remember...ALL non-catholic christians would still be sacrificing to piles of stone if not for the Catholic Church.

Answer 4

Yes
"Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. "


The tree is corrupt so the fruits are also corrupt. Here in our country almost government officials is catholic and sad to say this government officials are corrupting the money of the citizen

Answer 5

No, because if it were, then Jesus would be a liar. If you recall, He said the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Cchurch.

Now, people within the Catholic Church- as in people withon every religion- can be corrupt. It's human nature, infortunatley.

Answer 6

Pretty much , it's not the people who go there , they are being deceived . The Early Popes changed the rules and ways of the bible,and made their own laws and ways.The bible was written for man to learn about God and his laws and how we can avoid the punishment of hell through his son Jesus.Not through getting sacraments or not eating meat etc...If it was through what man does then why did Jesus die on the cross then?

Answer 7

Like the 1st answer says every religion has some amount of corruption so lets not even go there....Anyone religion that claims to not be is full of bs....

Answer 8

Yes, morally bankrupt. There is no more spiritual water in the well to draw from.

Answer 9

The Catholic Church is a money making organization that protects child molesters. How can they possibly be Christians and do this.
