I know a lot of priests that are OK but curiously enough press doesn't seem interested in them
My opinion on this:
I am not very surprised this happens. The Christian Church always said "Christian way is the highway ... for all". Thereby belittling other faiths.
Naturally they get karmic reactions. And that is good, because what the Church is doing (belittling others faiths) is like black magic.
(pointing gun/finger at others, people forget 3 fingers are pointing back at themselves)
When the Church stops this behavior a lot of aggression will be dissolved in the world IMO.
Of course Christian Church is not the only Relgion claiming to know what is best for others.
So it will take probably a longtime, before this issue is solved.
Karma is a bitsj, it keeps biting you in the behind, until you stop your adharmic behavior.
Though I understand why this all happens, I do agree with you, that it would be nicer to live in a world where we only look at the good priests. But then first the priests need to up their game and give the proper example. That's how it seems to work in the world. No magic happens here. You have to do the work yourself.
Limbo was a hypothesis, never an official doctrine. Later it was even abandoned. Purgatory on the other hand is still a part of the doctrine but is thought as a process of purification not a place...
In some religions there is the concept of reincarnation. One repeats the cycle until one learns what is necessary to move forward.
I had to google Limbo, and saw that it was abandoned, and purgatory is still part of the doctrine.
And "process of purification" makes more sense to me than a real "place"
But I can also understand that way back in year ZERO or later, they "saw" it as a place, or maybe it was meant figuratively, but taken literally by people who were not educated as well. And along the years even the priests took it literally (they did at the Church I attended when young).
Anyway, I do hope that this Spiritually "I know what is best for you/all (+telling others)" stops soon, because telling others what faith is good for them, is a well known cause for irritation, aggression, fights and even wars. It's more productive to show off by living a perfect example IMO
