I am very proud of my Church.
Do we have problems? You bet, but so do the Protestants.
You might be surprised to find just as many, if not more, pedophiles are Methodist, Baptist, Jewish, whatever religion you want to choose. Also, more Police officers, fire-persons, TEACHERS.
The only reason the Catholic Church is brought to the forefront is because the Church stands against what mainstream media is for, sex and immorality.
Latest surveys indicate that less than 1% of pedophiles are Priests and less than 5% of Catholic priests are pedophiles - the number is far to high (one is to many), but get your facts straight before you start accusing.

Way to jump to conclusions. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? San Diego has not been proven to be hiding funds. As their attorneys have pointed out they do not have control over all the various charities run by the church in San Diego (nor did the cities like Portland and Phoenix). As for the pedophiles, you may be suprised to know that the US population as a whole has a higher rate of pedophiles per capita than the Catholic Church.

Yes I am still proud of my Catholic Church and I love my Catholic priests. The actions of some members of the Catholic church does not speak for the whole church. The church will stay one, holy and apostolic despite the actions of some. I leave it to God to judge the ones who have sinned. When Jesus founded the Catholic church in the year 33 He knew He was leaving it in the hands of fragile men prone to sin and not perfect angels. And yet He chose to do so . I intend to stay in the Catholic church that He instituted come hail or high storm and not in any man-made church.

Did you watch 20/20 tonight?
The program investigated pedophiles in Protestant churches..........preachers, ministers, youth leaders, etc.
Don't blame the faith.............these pedophiles are everywhere.

Matthew 7:3 - Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
