Predators seek access to their prey.
If these priests were not called to serve God, why do you think they took up the cloth?
There are only 2 reasons to choose that life. For God, or for evil.
Not particularly unsurprising. Left-Wing Liberation Theology and Left-Wing thinking has by and large found a solid home in Senior Western European Catholic Clergy. Especially in and around Germany.
Which coincides with the general leftward shift of the Western portion of the continent in general. The Conservative/Traditional wing losing its hold on the Papacy only drove further nails into the proverbial coffin as Traditionalist/Conservative Priests and Clergy were sidelined or forced into retirement.
A lot of long neglected problems are coming home to roost for the Catholic Church. Doubtful it will result in its end. The Catholic Church and Catholicism in general has in the past proven remarkably resilient to weathering massive shifts and events one would think would destroy them.
They will likely be on unsteady ground for probably a couple decades as they sort out their internal problems and grapple with what will undoubtedly be many probably necessary changes. But I don’t foresee the church collapsing.
Depending on how the Popes after Francis handle the situation. They could emerge stronger then ever.
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a hold of every unclean spirit and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird; For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the power of her luxury. And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you do not participate in her sins and that you do not receive her plagues (Rev. 18:2-4)."
God's people are in Babylon the Great. She has become demonic and full of unclean spirits. God calls His people out with a warning. To stay there is to participate in her sins, and the warning is that those who stay will receive of her plagues.
Sickening.
Let's bless all the sins!
