Give it a rest. Those, who would abuse children, find their way into places where children are found. Churches, sports, playgrounds, schools, none of these institutions are free of it. The entertainment industry is no better and maybe the worst of them all because these predators know that there are parents out there who would sacrifice their children for money. They'd turn away as long as the cash was coming in. There's no cash coming from belonging to a church. In fact, it's the other way around. Church members donate to the church. The biggest problem with those other institutions is that parents find it hard to believe it to be true. Like everyone else, I went to school and I didn't see it. Yet, I can show you a list of 500 FEMALE teachers who have been convicted of having intercourse with students, both girls and boys and as young as 12 years old. I even know a guy whose ex-wife was convicted of it as a teacher.
It's not "tell that to the Catholic Church". It's "reveal it where it's happening" and divert from one to another to appease your personal bias.

The vast majority of people that came out of the feudal system were still of agricultural background. When the aristocrats lost their power and the peasants took over the land, they drew on their knowledge, as peasants who'd always worked the land, to become successful. The Kulaks in the Ukraine were a prime example. They knew what they were doing and had attained moderate success within a generation of taking over their farms. However, if you look to Zimbabwe, the people that took over the farms weren't farmers. This idea that all you have to do is give the people land and they will produce is a fallacy. The land needs good caretakers, people who have the background and dedication to do the tough, backbreaking work necessary to make it a success. That didn't happen in Zimbabwe. In fact, those who one might say were comparable to the peasants, the labourers, didn't take over the land at all. Many left with the white landowners and helped them to establish new farms in neighbouring Malawi. The "peasants" of Zimbabwe were not the ones that lent their expertise to make it a smooth transition. It was a disaster......and it will be a disaster in South Africa, too.
The land in medieval Europe was taken over by those who'd always worked it. The land in South Africa will be given to those who support the government and want the land due to ideological reasons, anger and envy. Those aren't the qualities needed to run a successful agricultural community. In reality, you're comparing apples and oranges. One that was a social system that was in a natural state of transition and the one that is now in South Africa that is a forced transition. The transition should come due to social conditions as they are today and never for ideological reasons.

Frankl looked inside to find that stoicism. Had he not looked for the worthwhile, deep within him, he'd have never would have found the strength to sustain that stoic lifestyle.
The one thing that you'll find when you try to fight the system and not deal with your own personal issues, is that the system will fight back. A person that has dug in, like Frankl did, to find their inner strength, will become a slave to the issues that will prevent him from dealing with setbacks in a positive manner. He becomes resentful, may even lash out in anger and that can only end badly, not just for him but for all that come into contact with him.
Frankl found an inner strength and peace. That's the way to deal with the world around you. The world will live on, like it always has, with all it's horrors and corruption, but you'll be gone. At least make your corner of it, a place where people will want to engage with you. You accomplish nothing by constant complaints.
