1. Not surprised.

Sometimes I wonder if the system that has evolved over the years is working so well. The hierarchy should be all on the same page. How can a Church truly be Catholic (universal) if the leadership does not speak with one voice? The fact that some bad apples have found a hiding place in the Clergy is not surprising. We are talking about many people, and the percentage of bad Clergy is small compared to the general population. The part that is not acceptable is the cover up that the leadership tried. This cover up worked for centuries, and is finally coming to light. These matters must be handled fairly, and the process must be transparent. Progress is being made, but much too slowly.
