How can ranking members of the Catholic hierarchy live with their hypocrisy?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) March 6th, 2010

Another sex scandal is rocking the Catholic Church. The church not only teaches that members and society in general should be either heterosexual or celibate, and if heterosexual, married faithfully to one partner, they actively pursue laws forcing people to behave in such a way, and seek to use the force of law to punish and imprison those who don’t.

How can an individual reconcile their own behavior, such as sexual abuse of children or lewd conduct with strings of male prostitutes with their public display of piety and moral outrage at behavior they secretly subscribe to themselves?
