In the catholic Church, the clergy are in decline. This has happened for a number of reasons:
1. They became corrupt, possibly have been for centuries
2. They abused their authority.
3. The main reason for the downfall is that people became more educated and began to question the clergy, and didn't like the answers they found; widespread sexual and physical and mental abuse of vulnerable children.
4. The clergy and the hierarchy have done nothing to address the sins, crimes, wrongs in the clergy.
