The headlines make it appear as though it was a past problem.
However, the reports state that it is an on-going problem.

Francisco expulsará del sacerdocio a Theodore McCarrick por abusar de menores
back in july/august, he resigned from the college of cardinals.
Now he's been defrocked, meaning no longer a priest.
He was accused of the sexual abuse of young boys, including an 11-year-old who was repeatedly abused

At the same time, round the corner under JP2 monument, happened a manifestation of solidarity with the victims of Catholic pedophiliac church, protesting against celebrating the protector of abusers. The monument was demolished several times. Still many religious fanatics in Poland, but in the face of the current evidence, no decent person will praise "our pope" anymore. Poland isn't a Catholic country anymore, at least that's what happened with my local family - once devout Catholics.

Isn't that basically what happened with Ireland? Daniel?

A woman there told me in a field of low cairns that a lot of them were built fairly recently ... because the Catholic Church wouldn't let children born out of wedlock be buried in a Catholic cemetery. And that this was a big part of why people hated the Church so much.

Did you watch Calvary? As a gentle introduction.

To give some more background to the JP2 case, people thought he was not aware and deceived about priests' pedophilia and its scale, that his role as a pope was figural, especially after his health collapsed following the assassination attempt. Probably the cult of the Polish pope who brought the spirit of freedom and humanity to his homeland after decades of russian oppression (the communist regime was overthrown a year after his pilgrimage, 1980) muzzled the witnesses and victims. Now there's clear evidence that he was perfectly conscious and aware of the crimes and actively covered them up.

If the papacy were to disappear in a puff of smoke, would it be black or white?
