I kinda feel like you're doing the opposite of what you suggested I might be doing though. You're not attributing to Catholicism all the good things we have done, while attributing the bad. Even though the former is very much in line with Catholic moral laws, while the latter is very much against it. Also, when you say "they"... who do you mean by that?
I find it hard to attribute good things you've done to Catholicism because I'm an atheist and I do the same things. I regularly devote time and money to various charities/people. I think you would do the same thing, even if you didn't think life was sacred because of your religion. I think life is pretty important without it.
How is sexual abuse against the Catholic faith? I mean, I was using it as an example, but I guess I do attribute it to the church because of the MASSIVE undertaking this church has embarked upon to keep its name clean at the expensive of thousands of small children. Fucking thousands.
When I say they, I mean the pseudo monarchy that sits on thrones in Rome while the rest of you do charity work and get raped by priests.
Quote:so fundamentally against our moral code.
Maybe your moral code, but until recently, you had a string of Popes who knew and didn't give a shit. I don't see any examples anywhere in the Bible that say it is against the faith to rape or abuse children. In fact, there are clear examples of child abuse and rape of adults being okay. No kids are raped in the Bible, but I'm pretty sure they didn't mean wives had to be of age to obey their husbands since of age is a fairly new concept.
Quote: I'll see if I can find it on youtube once I finish the Leah episodes and the Paradise Lost documentary which I started while washing dishes.
Enjoy all your good documentaries! Being honest, none of them I've pointed you in the direction of is very uplifting. As a head's up the priest in that documentary raped an infant. If that's too much for you, skip it. It's a fucking harrowing doc.
