Granted, those would be good things, but they don't address the pedophilia that runs rampant in the Catholic church. Nor does the number of priests who are homosexuals. It also doesn't count those priests who have heterosexual relationships.

Pedophiles are logically drawn to positions which place them in contact with children. Given the Catholic Church's history of allowing pedo priests to act basically unrestricted, it's quite appealing. I believe there should also be charges brought against the church hierarchy for knowing and not reporting their priests.

I am very glad I never was an alter boy.

@Marine I'm very glad you weren't as well!

I haven't spoken to him in 28 years - there was a trial in New England -guessing he would have been involved.

@sassygirl3869 The New England one was a biggie, so I hope he was. It's so tragic.

If they settle all the claims they will need to open the vaults under the vatican that haven't been opened in centuries.
