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.

It is not a 'few bad apples' that have blackened the faith, but the dogmatism of the Church and its leaders which places deference, authority and reputation above the safety and dignity of children and women. That is completely unforgiveable.
