Denial ain't a river in Egypt, and you will never solve a problem until you admit there is a problem. The Magisterium (teaching authority) is supposed to be infallible, and so Catholics can't admit the Magesterium got caught with its infallibility down. Look at VC-II: by every metric of success, this was total fail. Despite what is so plainly obvious, they can't admit it, and so won't correct it. They even celebrate VC-II as though it were some great success. However reality refuses to be wished away.
Former, disillusioned members are often the harshest critics. The RCC did it to itself.
