Unfortunately, about 50% + of the Catholic Church is Liberal. My wife is a hardcore, practicing Catholic and Conservative and of course, is sickened as with everyone in her Church. This Pope (who most don't like) isn't helping. Her Church pretty much does their own thing (as with most conservative Catholic Churchs). They want something done but it starts at the top. She or I don't defend it in any way but you're not going to get a lifelong practicing Catholic to leave the Church, I've tried.
But I don't think the comparison can be made with "Parents" dressing their kid in drag, have him prance around in a gay bar while getting $$ thrown at him in front of a bunch of pedos.
Hopefully the boy wasn't made to do this and they only allowed their son to dress in drag and perform at a strip club. It's still very wrong, however.
My late wife was a lifelong Catholic. We enrolled both our kids at St. Agatha's Catholic elementary school where the educators (sisters and lay teachers) were able to provide a well-rounded education without some of the constraints put on public education. It paid off. Both of them graduated with honors from public school and proceeded to live admirable lives.
There are many reasons why today's church has changed. Some of these changes are good, some are necessary and some not so good. My wife was upset when the priests stopped saying mass in Latin. She liked the pomp and circumstance as well as the rituals and spiritual mystic. I kept her collection of rosaries and other symbols of her devote faith.
