Because god is a mythical warm fuzzy. Warm fuzzies can't stop pedophiles.

Pedophiles will do whatever it takes to get closer to children. Whether it be a Catholic Priest, Janitor, Librarian, School aide.

Just because it's a Catholic Priest, People automatically go "Ohh ahhh" But when it's a school aide or janitor.. it's not a big deal.

The Priests that molest children are not really priests, they are pedophiles lurking on their prey in a Church. And secondly, God gave mankind the freewill to choose between Good and evil, right or wrong. It's mankind that is evil, not God.

Satan is laughing all the way into the pits of Hell.

I'm sorry your question seems so cozy for many other God hating non-believers. But here's what you need to know; what others, like Satan & people meant for bad, God means for good. And for all the Catholics and those who pick on them, NO where in the Bible does it say man should be alone in order to serve God. Man wasn't meant to be w/o woman. The POPE gives himself to high a position, all of us can be close to God. We don't need to pray a certain amount of prayers, confess to anyone but God, or do anything in the eyes of man. This is sadly what the early chruch put in peoples minds and is still around.

THE GOD does not intervene in day to day anything.

T

his would interfere with FREE WILL.

Only the people who are involved int the RC Cult say or believe that the poop is closer than anyone else. The Bible says WE ARE ALL EQUAL. No more priests, no more pecking order.

Donations have not dropped much-- the Cult members are too scared to revolt.

God does not interfere with our actions on earth. That is the truth about free will. There is something for us to learn from every situation that we are participants of (willing or unwilling) or that we become aware of. It is part of a much bigger picture that we are not privy to.

All people who abuse children in anyway should be punished severely.

Not all Catholic priests, by far, are child molesters. Most of them are sincere in their desire to devote their lives to God and their parishioners.

For the same reason He didn't intervene when millions of innocent men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust. We can never know that mind of God but we know that human beings can choose to do evil things.

The devil is very active in the church. As for the Pope and bishops who covered up. there concern for the name of the church and donations come before the Love of God.

Bing Bing Bing You are the one thousandth person to ask that question!!!! Whooo You have won an answer!

People are going to do what they do, like the murderers, robbers, liars, and the gossipers. They didn't consult God to act out on their impulses or desires. Obviously it is not of God and they are subject to God's judgement. God is the only one who knows our hearts and where we stand. God will hold them accountable for their intentions.

I've heard the Swiss Guards have to watch out for predatory Cardinals at the Vatican...I guess it's a way for some of the guards to supplement their wages!!! but the corruption goes right the way to the top don't you think!

This is but one facet of what philosophers call the Problem Of Evil. Basically, the question is how evil can coexist with God. Big question. Many people have written on it.

Because of free will, it was up to the priests to stop the sexual assault.

I know, that is a very weak excuse, especially since some dioceses knew of these priests and shuffled them from church to church, where they could continue their unholy, un-Christian perversions.
