Development
The charity proclaimed by Jesus Christ consits of the elements equal rights for everybody, care for one another and care for the poor.
Fundamental laws of the Roman Catholic Church deviate far from these elements. Those laws support the privileging of clergymen, not based on behavior inspired by Jesus Christ but only on the
assumption that these men have received supernatural authority and power through divine intervention.
For ages it has been possible to prevent publication of all kinds of criminality among the clergy with the appeal to unity of the church as the highest good.
But since the free press discovered how children had been abused, how bishops have systematically covered up child abuse, denied victims help and given new opportunities to those who have abused children, many faithful people do not longer want t be associated with the church. This tendency is growing. It has not changed since the Vatican staff has been expanded with some women It has not altered since 100 non-bishops have been admitted as advisors to an episcopal synod. Study committees have been formed but the acceptence of the behavior elements of Christ as norm for appointments is not on the agenda, nof equal rights for everybody, nor care for one another and not care for the poor.
