Here's a better one:

>the child abuse scandal started sporadically in the 80s and became public knowledge in the 90s
>it is not thousands of discrete cases, but proofs of some kind of systematic failure
>the culture of silence only explains so much, one factor under-adressed is the fact that christianity, especially catholicism, is a lower abdomen religion
>e.g. despite France being so republican and atheist, the church manged to obstruct proper sex ed in schools
>e.g. teen girls raped by priests are blamed because they didn't just say "Stop! Think of Jesus." or something
>e.g. there's a whole caste of celibates that, unlike incels, doesn't even aspire to full adulthood
>be Johannes Paulus II in the 90s
>what do?
>shall we go to the bottom with this?
>nah, let's push for that albanian nun who together with Muggeridge singel-handedly ruined Calcutta's reputation
>then let another pope steamroll her canonization

>I have read the current one and am against the changed in VII simply because of modernism and the results it has on the public. The decline in attendance in the catholic church, or monastries show a clear line. People want a strict authority not a social worker giving out rubby bubble and rice crispies on high mass dancing to zumba before the post-modern interpretation of the crucifix.
See above. The Church had a window where they could act harshly on the sex abuse scandal. Before they had to close down whole dioceses because the weregild got too heavy. It had.

Now it's in total decline and african cardinals and maybe popes who are Martin Sempa 2: Electric Boogaloo won't do anything good.

The question is not if the church will be supplanted but by what. The 2nd worst lower abdomen religion is islam. My suggestion is that the western world takes some hints from the dharmic and daoitic religions. There was a western world before abrahamism. There will be after.

Obvious bait, but I do have a story. In high school, I was standing by my lockers with my friends (they're people you hang out with and mutually enjoy each other's company if you're unfamiliar, which I assume most of you are) and this guy who always, for lack of a better word, "fussy" accidentally brushed his hand against my ass. I feigned outrage and said "(Guy's name), did you just touch my butt?!" He got all redfaced and annoyed. Naturally for the next couple weeks my friends and I would relentlessly torture him about about being a serial butt-toucher, and he would always get pissed and deny it. We would just say things like "Methinks the butt-toucher doth protest too much!" and run to stand with our backs against the lockers when he would walk by. This all culminated in my making a facebook group called the "(Guy's name" butt-touching awareness forum" where people made up stories about him groping them and shit. He reported me and got it taken down and actually took me aside and threatened legal action (I laughed in his face). The whole thing kind of fizzled out but then in college I found out he was gay and realized that he was probably so butthurt because he was struggling with an identity crisis and coming to terms with his homosexual feelings and I exacerbated his existential ordeal by being callous and immature.
