What aboutism at it's worst on this post. So because the Catholic Church has failings on the sex abuse issue, it therefore shouldn't be concerned about the dangerous  affects that war has had on the planet? 

I mean have you just been having your eyes closed to what's been happening the last decade with things like the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Drones which kill civilians left right and center, the vicious and the criminal war in Syria right now. 

In a world that's ravaged by war and a world where the Catholic Church has 1.2 billion followers on the planet, Churches need to have as part of their social witness a witness against militarism and violence that summons the teachings of Christ, St Francis of Assisi and figures like Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day.  You can walk and chew gum at the same time. 

Gotta say this post comes across as pretty selfish and self-centered.
