The reason that stories like this one about predator-priest Kevin Gugliotta keep coming forward is that both priests and hierarchs CANNOT be publicly honest about their fundamental personal truth.

Not only are some priests criminal sexual predators, but most hierarchs and priests are overwhelmed with shame and guilt about who they really are as persons.  Hence, hierarchs invariably fail to excise these predator priests from the community because the hierarchs know they come from the same insulated celibate clerical culture that produced the predators.  

Catholic hierarchs are dangerously alienated from and hopelessly irrelevant to the lives of the masses of the very people they are called to serve.  This is how the corruption and complicity begins.

This is why Catholics must have the courage to completely reform and renew the priesthood from parish to pope - hopefully before the Catholic community disappears at the end of this century.
