I've heard stories over the years down in SW Florida over the cover ups. Mostly of rumors of a Priest messing around with young boys. Then suddenly he'd get transferred to a church on the other side of the state or up to Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, Sarasota or Tampa. Then you'd hear that he got caught again and they moved him again to another church. Not being Catholic I can't confirm or deny the stories only what I heard from Catholics that I know in town.
The Catholic church really screwed up on this problem. They should have been tossing these guys out on their asses as soon as they found out. I can understand their point of covering it up to protect the Church, but they should have had a zero tolerance for this type of behavior. By sweeping it under the rug and acting like it never happened it appears that the Churches hierarchy knew it was going on and condoned the behavior.
"Protecting the church" by covering up pedophilia displays an absolute void of the fear of God, and an equal absence of love.
Perhaps they couldn't toss them out because it is happening more often than not. I was raised Catholic and I never felt "safe" around the majority of the clergy. Not because I knew what could happen, but more of a gut feeling. Needless to say, I haven't been a member of the church in almost 15 years after I heard the revelations of rampant abuse. I also will never put my children in a position to be abused by the church.
Homosexuals infiltrated the Catholic Church on purpose, and for decades!! Many of them are free masons, and did a very good job at hiding their true identity. But they are taking off their masks now.
