This is why I've turned my back on the Catholic Church.
Also one big reason my cradle catholic husband has done the same.

I understand your frustration with the molestation. I don't see what the evil actions of a small percentage of humans has to do with the divinity of Christ and the value of receiving the sacraments though.

While pedophilia is something I thankfully don't understand and will never condone, the Church is actually acting like Christ by showing mercy. Obviously the Church has a responsibility to keep children safe. The sex abuse is such an evil and disgusting situation.
