I'm going to ask you one time, straight up: Do you acknowledge that the rate of pedophilia within the Catholic priesthood is lower than in the general population?
Yes or no?
According to you, it is. I haven't looked at numbers from an unbiased source like the FBI. And in speaking with you, directly, I don't give a shit about other numbers. We are here discussing your religious faith. Those other numbers are absolutely irrelevant to the question, "Why does Randy follow an alleged moral authority that behaves in such a profoundly immoral manner?"
What an amazingly STUPID argument. Really.
I don't follow an immoral authority...I follow Christ. The fact that some of the leaders of the Church are OMG human and tempted to sin means what? That they're human and tempted to sin?
Who isn't?
No, what this is REALLY about is that you hate like hell that the Catholic Church is LESS guilty than other institutions made up of sinful humans. 'Cause you really, REALLY want something - anything - to use as a weapon against God and His Church.
