Do you think there will now be some Roman Catholics who will leave that church after the latest scandals in Philadelphia? . I can not imagine how they would not begin to question the validity of the rc priesthood and the church itself.
Quotes from the news concerning the latest RC priest sex abuse priest scandal .
The possibility that even one predatory priest, not to mention three dozen, might still be serving in parishes — “on duty in the archdiocese today, with open access to new young prey,” as the grand jury put it — has unnerved many Roman Catholics here and sent the church reeling in the latest and one of the most damning episodes in the American church since it became engulfed in the sexual abuse scandal nearly a decade ago.
Some parishioners say they feel discouraged and are caught in a wave of anxiety, even as they continue to attend Mass.
“It’s a tough day to be a faith-filled Catholic,” Maria Shultz, 43, a secretary at Immaculata University, said after Mass last weekend at St. Joseph’s Church in suburban Downingtown.
I believe these latest sex scandal by 21 priests in Philadelphia demonstrate the immoral nature of the notion of Priest and celibacy in the Roman catholic church..
I am surprised that more Catholics have not begun to question Roman Catholicism and come out of the Romish religion. What do you think is the reason they stay? Or do you think this time many or at some Roman Catholics will leave the rc church for protestant churches as a result.?
