Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is the absolute truth. Over time, many Catholic popes, priests, and bishops have demonstrated an inability to use their absolute power responsibly. When word/gossip of this leaks out, there is a panic in the magisterium because the Catholic church must be an infallible institution. Then begins the media spin, where the magisterium conjures up whatever lies they can in order to warp the truth to their favor. Then, every bad thing is neatly swept under the rug. This is the cycle of Catholic politics.
I really like Catholicism and it is a great religion with strong morals and lots of good people, but Catholic politics just make me sick.
