The Old Testament in the Holy Bible gives the death penalty to sex offenders so if part of the Catholic church didn't even call the police and and have such corruption ended, then they were not following The Bible. It was death penalty through the legal system, never vigilante.

Another perspective : This is a tricky question to answer - on the one hand it could be corrupt leaders outside the church or it can be leaders inside the church. In cases involving the leaders of the church, there is a tendency to cover up the matter - in effect do nothing. In cases of leaders outside the church, the church will assist with advice and in in bad cases even possible protests and sermons against such leaders / corruption.

What practice was corrupt in the Catholic church during the Renaissance?

There have always been individuals in the Church who have been corrupt as every single individual who ever lived, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother, have been sinners. The Church, however, is the Body of Christ, and Our Blessed Lord promised the Holy Spirit to guide Her until the end of the world. The Catholic Church is incapable of being corrupt, although individuals within her, including Popes, may be. To say that the Church was corrupt is to say that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, was corrupt, which is nonsense. The vast majority of corrupt individuals during the Renaissance was neither more nor less than at any other time in history, it has just gotten a lot more press because heretics used corrupt individuals as an excuse to leave the Church and start their own religions. The Catholic Church, however, was never corrupt, and could never be.


Is a monk's job to tell the Catholic Church if they are being corrupt?

Roman Catholic Answer First of all, the Catholic Church cannot, in and of itself, be corrupt; people in the Church may be corrupt, but the Church, itself, is the Mystical Body of Our Blessed Lord, who promised to pray for it, and send the Holy Spirit to guide it into all truth until the end of the world. Second of all, a monk's job primarily is to pray the Divine Office, to intercede for people, and for the whole Church. A monk, normally, is not even ordained, so would have NO business, whatsoever outside of his monastery. So the short answer to your question is a resounding "no" from whichever angle you consider it.


What is a corrupt cardinal?

Is the Catholic Church as corrupt in real life as it in the Godfather?

The Catholic Church is not corrupt. However, as with any human institution, there are a number of corrupt individuals in the Church, especially in the Roman Curia. Some of the characters in the movie The God Father were based on actual persons. Pope Benedict tried hard to clean up the corruption but his age left him without the stamina to do the job. We all pray that Francis is up to the challenge. Satan has been trying to destroy the Church since it was founded and what better place to operate than in the Vatican itself.


The most corrupt church in the world is in which country?

It is impossible to answer without bias, because most churches have varying degrees of influence in their respective countries, and in the world. The Roman Catholic Church as a whole, with its 2000-year history, has surely had more instances of wrongdoing or individual misdeeds than any other church, and could have been considered corrupt for its political actions in Europe.
