RE: Catholic bishop struggles to reform church on sexual abuse

So their situation is rather unique in that respect. Plus the 1700+ year history and the Holy Roman Empire which ruled over much of the civilized world in a horrifyingly bloody manner for 1260 years in the dark ages.
I personally love individual Catholics, can't stand the RCC for all sorts of reasons, mostly their history and their opposition to Biblical Christianity.
I agree that any bureaucracy is slow. The larger it is, the slower it works. And the Catholic church is the largest and most complicated bureaucracy on the planet.
Since this is the No-Spin room, we can agree to disagree on the bolded part All I'll say is that most criticism (not all, but most) from other Christians about Catholic practices/beliefs are about fictional practices/beliefs (i.e., that's not what Catholics actually do/believe). Sort of like how some ancient Romans disliked us because they thought we practiced cannibalism.
