That the followers of this religion continue to justify, make excuses, and say "yeah we hate this" but refuse to walk away when enough is enough, tells me everything I need to know about the Catholic religion.
You don't even have to move if you don't like it. You just have to - accept that the Catholic church is not what you thought you were signing up for, and it's time for something else.

Actually the Pope doesn’t quite have the executive powers of, say, the President of the United States. The buck actually doesn’t stop with him, it stops with God. Nevertheless, I agree that more, faster and greater action should to be taken to compensate the victims and put in measures not to let it happen again in the future.
And look what happened to “the messenger” it was not the Pope or the Catholic people that took her life….
