The cardinals.
Catholic AnswerCouple problems, first of all: It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.Secondly, if you are talking about clergy, then there are all only three "ranks": the Bishops, the Priests, and the Deacons. The Bishops have the fullness of Christ's priesthood, and are the successors of the Apostles, they are the final stop below Jesus Christ if you are looking at rank. Now, the Holy Father, the Pope, is the Vicar of Christ on earth, so he represents Jesus Christ, the next rank below him would be a Bishop. Cardinals are only Bishops (or priests in some cases) who have been appointed to elect the next Pope.

Will a priest agree to perform a same-sex wedding ceremony?
A Roman Catholic priest is not likely to agree to such a thing, as he would face discipline from either the diocese or his order, since the Catholic church does not sanction same-sex marriage, even in places where it is legal. Catholic priests have been known to break ranks with church doctrine from time to time, but it does not happen often.

What were the abuses by the Roman Catholic Church called?
A:Any organisation of the longevity and scale of the Catholic Church would have some skeletons in its closet, although perhaps the Catholic Church has attracted more than a fair share of miscreants into its ranks. Some systemic abuses within the Catholic Church are as follow. Simony is a well-known failing of the Catholic Church, often involving the sale of church offices and of indulgences.Forgery has been used with great success to advance the power and wealth of the Church. The most infamous forged document coming out of the Vatican is the so-called 'Donation of Constantine'.Nepotism involved granting important church positions to the illegitimate children and family members of bishops, cardinals and popes.Largely hidden, at least until recent times, is sexual abuse, especially solicitation in the confessional and child abuse. Doyle, Sipe and Wall ('Sex, Priests and Secret Codes') say that clergy sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults has occurred from the earliest centuries..Catholic AnswerFirst off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, your question is asking for abuses BY the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church as an institution is the Mystical Body of Christ, and guaranteed by Him to be here until the end of time offering salvation to people until the end of the world. As such, the Catholic Church, itself, cannot have "abuse". Now, if you want to know about abuse perpetuated by individuals in the Church, even Popes, then you have to narrow your question down, perhaps to a century and/or a specific region to ask a sensible question and get a sensible answer. You cannot ask a question about a world-wide divine institution that has been around for twenty centuries and expect a specific answer outside of a book.
