The church is a haven for child abuse and paedophilia and homosexuality.
At this moment in Australia there is a Royal Commission into child abuse and rape by the brethren of Christian Churches.
We are talking about hundreds of thousands of priest and Bishops and Cardinals who are involved in child sexual abuse and cover ups........All over the world.

For God sake the Pope has resigned in SHAME over this.
And you talk of help for homosexuals.
These type immoral people that are in the Church is who the apostle Paul is writing the Corinthian Church about in these verses I quoted before.
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
(1 Corinthians 5:9-13 NASB)
Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.
(1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NRSV)
The apostle Paul tells the Church to remove the wicked man from among yourselves for he is not really a brother in the faith. It does not matter if that man is a Priest or a Bishop, the other members of the church must not associate or eat the passover meal with him, but they are to remove him from the Church. The members of the Church must judge their own members and these members can not be helped by remaining within the church. They must be thrown out. The Roman Catholic Church has allowed these abominable acts to continue and will face God's judgment for it.
