Are we supposed to be shocked that Roman priests and the so-called Bishop of Rome may have been involved in child sexual abuse and cover up? If this surprises people, then they have not been paying attention. Read the history of the Papacy. And, those who are honest about this abomination should not be faulted for their willingness to address it openly. Do not kill the messenger just because you do not like the message. Our hope is in Christ, not in some man who falsely claims to be the Head of the Church on earth.
This is because the Roman church is built upon the Papacy rather than on Jesus Christ. This is their own misinterpretation of Matthew 16:16-19. If the root is corrupt, the fruit is corrupt. There is only one Head of the Church, Jesus (Ephesians 1:22).
