8.91. Why are there so many cases of pedophilia and homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood? Doesn’t this prove that the Church is corrupt and false?
It is a tragedy and a scandal beyond words: countless children abused, countless vocations corrupted, countless souls lost—not by the true Catholic Church, but by the false Vatican II sect, which welcomed homosexuals into seminaries, refused to discipline moral depravity, and covered up crimes to protect reputations instead of souls.
The Catholic Church—when it was truly Catholic—never tolerated these abominations. From the early centuries, sodomy and clerical impurity were punished with removal, excommunication, or even death. But the Vatican II “church”, after abandoning its doctrine and sacraments, also lost its moral compass, and became a breeding ground for modernist, effeminate, and perverse clergy.
Below is a comparison of the Catholic Church’s teaching and practice regarding clerical purity and the post-Vatican II corruption that enabled mass abuse.
| Category | True Catholic Church Teaching (Pre-Vatican II) | Vatican II Church Practice | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clerical Purity | Celibacy protected; impurity punished severely | Homosexuality tolerated; offenders transferred, not removed | The true Church demanded **holiness**, not tolerance of vice |
| Seminary Formation | Strict moral screening; emphasis on chastity and doctrine | Sodomite networks allowed; discipline relaxed | Many seminaries became moral and theological cesspools post-Vatican II |
| Admission of Homosexuals | Explicitly forbidden (e.g. 1961 Instruction, Pius XII’s directives) | Encouraged by “inclusive” bishops; networks flourished | Homosexuality is intrinsically disordered and incompatible with the priesthood |
| Discipline of Offenders | Immediate removal and canonical punishment | Cover-ups, transfers, payouts, Vatican protection | This is not Catholic governance—it is moral complicity |
| Doctrinal Clarity | Homosexual acts condemned as mortal sins crying to Heaven (cf. Gen. 19) | “Pastoral accompaniment” and ambiguous statements (cf. Francis, *Fiducia Supplicans*) | Vatican II replaced moral clarity with false compassion |
| Fruits | Fear of God, vocations, sanctity, spiritual strength | Sexual abuse, scandal, cover-up, worldwide apostasy | “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matt. 7:16) |
| Public Response | Firm condemnations and canonical trials | Empty apologies, PR statements, no true repentance | The Vatican II Church protects itself, not souls |
| Root Cause | When Catholic: fidelity to Christ and doctrine produced holiness | Post-Vatican II: Modernism, sodomy, and doctrinal collapse enabled abuse | The **moral crisis flows from the theological and liturgical revolution** of Vatican II |
Summary:
The true Catholic Church does not produce pedophile priests or sodomite clergy. These are the fruits of modernism, false theology, loss of reverence, and abolition of discipline—all brought in by the Vatican II revolution.
The sexual abuse crisis is not a refutation of the Catholic Church, but a confirmation of the sedevacantist position: the men who claim to lead the “Church” today do not hold the true Faith, do not safeguard morals, and do not act with divine authority.
As Pope St. Pius V warned:
“The Church has no power to appoint sodomites or those who commit such acts to any office.”
Leo XIV and his hierarchy not only tolerated but protected and promoted such men—because they are not Catholic.
