The Catholic church has a *long* history of corruption (of which the Borgia family of the 15th century is a robust, though not unique, example).
This is the crux of my issue with Catholicism; because it is based on the will of man, and not the word of God, it is invariably corrupt, as all human institutions must become. Catholic dogma contradicting actual scripture isn't new either, such as the Church selling indulgences or covering up certain widespread practices by the priesthood. Further, councils and committees are infinitely more Jewable and a totalitarian system, which had also led to predictible results.
That said, there's an idea expressed in Noah that, despite this sin/weakness existing it's not our place to expose, rather to maintain dignity to the outside world. This was specifically in relation to a filial relationship which holds extra responsibility, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
it has the least corruption of any large group per capita. Every larger group eventually gets some corrupt elements in it. It is amazing how it stands despite that and how the system maintains doctrine over personells personal opinions ( thanks largely to Hildibrand)
