You are either one way or the other... you can not be both... The catholic church has shown us which way she has gone... and it is not HOLY... She has RAPED and ABUSED children for years... Ann

Like many of my friends, colleagues and fellow Catholics, I have been deeply disturbed by the recent revelations of just how much church leaders have failed in their obligations to protect our young people and to provide examples of holiness to the church. A number of practical suggestions for structural changes have been made, and many of them will help in the reform of our church. As a Catholic and a theologian who studies the nature of the church, I want to suggest another contributing factor to the sexual abuse crisis: an inadequate theology of ecclesial sinfulness.https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/10/22/can-church-be-both-holy-and-sinful
