Anyone interested in the details of Pope Emeritus Benedict's honest attempt at a thorough cleanup of the priest pedophile cover-up should take a look at the activity of Bishop Charles J. Scicluna who was tirelessly at the head of this reform of the Church for over a decade, and continues to assist in it.
Pope Benedict XVI was a veritable lion in attacking clerical immorality: N.B. one of the last acts of his Papacy was to resign the Homosexual Cardinal of Scotland.
Sometimes I get the impression that the Church's detractors, instead of the holy line of Popes in our recent history, would prefer we had immoral Popes. It is the height of irony! They hate us when we are bad, but they hate us worse when we are good! I guess they just plain hate us! They perfectly fulfill the Word of God: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love what is its own [they love and promote bad Catholics at every level]. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:18-19
