Sorry, but the church seems to be already broken - at least when it comes to its leaders who have protected perpetrators at the expense of children. Cardinal Dolan, who is now cutting deals with despicable Trump, seems to not understand this. He seems to be part of the problem.

Do expose on the corrupt and hateful mosques too while your at it.

No, no it should not. The Catholic Church is run by perverts.

They should’ve taken measures long time ago. It’s too late.

Oh please. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet.

Your church is “broken” because of the Priest molesting children

Ya know a great wait to not break the church is to not let your leaders MOLEST CHILDREN.

It needs to be broken. Permanently.

Sue every clergy involved, individually and also, lock them up for life.

Cardinal Dolan I’m sorry to tell you but it’s already broken

The catholic crime family wants special treatment when they are caught raping kids. Ban their bullshit 'fantasy religion'.

After the article you posted regarding Alain Malcolm, I don't know whether you support Catholic Church pedophilia or not.

Why are so many men of God homosexual? Homosexuality is acceptable but Child Molestation is not!

Babylon is fallen, is fallen.

Must protect the church and screw the flocks...one born every minute!

Break it and grind it into dust. 👍

The priests are doing the breaking, not the people they abused. Money & property are not as important as the trust these men destroyed. Broken churches may be saved if that is God's will & plan.

Catholic Church needs to make changes - possibly permitting priests & nuns to have spouses

Church hierarchy should have thought about the possible negative consequences back when their official policy was to hide and cover up for all of the abusers.

too bad Cardinal Dolan

Bout time ! Actually past due

It’s been broke for ever!!!! The usually human inability to take responsibility for actions of the church ⛪️ Sick abuse of power!!! Unfortunately defines Religious leadership across the board!!!

Earth to Dolan, your church is broken. Criminals

Trial attorneys prayers have been answered.

So so disappointing!

It's already broken, but by all means bankrupt them if it means just one less child rapist is protected.

Too bad so sad....should’ve left all those little kids alone!

the catholic church broke itself by raping children.

Enough! It’s time for accountability.

People wanting money!

Catholic Church has plenty of equity in stuff they hideaway in the VATICAN. They’ll be ok

It's long overdue, all abusing priests should be throned in jail

should have thought about that 500 years ago

With so many sexually abused by priests is it not already broken? Money received by false pretenses is dirty money, give it all away!

The whole church needs a structural overhaul to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for pedos.

What’s the difference between acne and a priest? Acne waits until the boy is at least 13 before it comes on his face

You can't break that which is already broken.

Top Catholic cardinal admits church destroyed documents on clergy sexual abuseIn a remarkable admission, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx said Saturday that documents that could have contained proof of clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church were destroyed or never drawn up. I don’t think “proof” is necessary here. Pretty obvious. We need to get our faith realigned, to do what’s right, and not what’s down the path of failure.
