Catholic Church Scandal!

I am a Catholic. I have worked for the Archdiocese. I believe that the Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. I recite the Creed with zero hesitation. So when I tell you that I believe that the Archdiocese of New Orleans is an evil organization, believe me when I tell you that I have arrived at that through tremendous pain and soul searching. The AoNO is an evil organization.

I am genuinely curious b/c even though i grew up Catholic (under the NOLA archdiocese) , but no longer practice- what is it that makes you think that the Archdiocese of NOLA is any more evil & corrupt than the entire Catholic organization writ large ? We know that priests have been shifted around to different parishes throughout the US, possibly the world, when they’ve committed crimes.. and we know that the Catholic Church has exclusionary policies preventing women from becoming priests , and preventing priests from getting married or having families or even romantic relationships (which attracts all manner of deviants and miscreants to the priesthood).. and by my last count, we know that the Catholic Church has paid out in excess of half a Billion dollars to settle child abuse claims…. So what is it that makes you think that the NOLA archdiocese is any worse than the entire worldwide Catholic Church ?
