Good job dodging all the other points.
I've already stated that the individual bishops ALSO need to be evaluated carefully for their involvement.
YOU however, want to say that the entire institution is somehow guilty of pedophilia. That's 1.2 billion people. I don't think that's reasonable. Individuals were responsible - not the entirety of the Catholic Church.
As for the rest, I'm simply skipping over points that I've already addressed elsewhere.
Your straw man here is fucking ridiculous. I've never considered every single cathy-lick guilty by association nor have I made that accusation, even by implication. Only the ones perpetuating the crimes and the cover-ups and the cover-ups have gone all the way to the top under some of the popes.
Seriously Randy. Your turn. Show me the post where I accused every single cathy-lick in the world of collusion or drop your straw-man.
BTW - Saying a bishop should be "retired" for his collusion is not exactly a ringing condemnation of his crimes. Prosecution for aiding and abetting maybe, but not "retiring."
