why is catholicism seen in a bad light nowadays

i'm a roman catholic and believe in my faith, all the priest i've ever known have been noble good priests who genuinly cared about people...just because there has been a few perverted priests in times gone by, doesn't blacken the whole catholic faith, if some people think it does, it would be a ridiculous assertion.

The overall issue isn't the revelation that the Catholic church has pedophile priests.

It's that the Catholic church used its significant power to excuse and cover up the actions of these priests...in some examples KNOWING that these guys were unrepentant child molesters, and just moving them around while shaming and blaming their accusers. That would be little kids and their families.

They got caught doing this for decades. That's a criminal conspiracy. It should be a RICO case and the Catholic church should be smashed and the money given to their victims.
