Scandals of the Catholic Church

Scandals in the Catholic Church often involve allegations of misconduct by clergy, including abuse of power, financial corruption, and moral failures. Notably, cases of child abuse by priests and cover-ups by Church authorities have caused widespread outrage and loss of trust. These scandals reveal systemic problems in accountability and transparency within the institution. The Church has responded with investigations, reforms, and apologies, but the scandals remain a significant challenge to its moral authority and mission. Addressing these issues continues to be a complex process of accountability, healing, and reform.
