In recent times, the Catholic Church has become more of a business institution, than a religious institution, that seeks to save lost souls. That is what led to the blind eye on the homosexual priests. As long as "Father John" was fattening the coffers of the Church, it didn't matter how many little boys he diddled. Most Catholics are happy, just as long as they get to sip their booze, and believe that saying "Father, I have sinned," and then being told to say three "Hail Mary's", will get them into Heaven.
