    I’m not making an argument as to whether or not it’s fixable. No, where we differ is in the argument I am making that, as it stands, the Catholic Church has caused and continues to cause enough harm in the world that that calling anyone who by their position bears some of the responsibility for that harm ‘good’ without qualification is problematic. Fix it or not as you see fit, I’m not a Catholic or even a Christian so it’s no skin off my nose either way, but I’m not going to paper over its abuses just to satisfy the cultural norm of not speaking ill of the dead.
