You are barking up the wrong tree. Paul is NOT a catholic.

Catholic here.
And IMO this Pope has not been the right man for the job since he was elected by the College of Cardinals.
IMO Ratzinger lobbied long and hard for the job. He is not (IMO) a humble man, but a man who's had his eyes on the prize for years.
Sadly, there is no "impeachment" equivalent for a Pope.

According to one of the prophecies, there is to be a "schism" soon -- two popes -- with us, the members (the real "church"), taking sides.
One will be good, the other evil.
We shall see...

you do realize every priest probably knows about the coverup and many guilty priests, just from others word of mouth in the organzation, yet they keep thier mouth shut
doesnt that kinda prove a job and money are more important than ethics or religion?
bad people everywhere, but a coverup with this magnitude on such a serious crime makes u wonder what else is hushed........ or even if religion is made up ?

So are pedophiles attracted to being priests because it is a protected environment with access to boys or because they hope being a priest well help them control their urges?

ok, so by merrys thoughts, its ok for priests to stay silent if they know of others molesting children....... since its not about ethics or money as merry says
and why do they stay silent? fear of losing job, so that proves moneys more important to them....... because if they knew of a parishner or neighbor doing it, theyd call cops right merry?

You assume that every Catholic priest is at fault.
I can assure you, most priests are NOT at fault, and are as hurt and baffled as the rest of us. Perhaps even more hurt.
Subsequently, the rest of your post is moot.

lazy, your logic is faulty. for some money/job may be more important. that doesn't make it true for all.
What happened to your support of ppl who were just following orders?
