Yes, what those clergymen did was horrible. But I am still Catholic because I still believe in the teachings of the Church. None of which say pedophilia or covering up pedophiles is ok. I neither molested anyone, or protected anyone who did... so I shouldn't be judged for that. So when you say you don't like someone simply because they are Catholic, this sounds like kind of a bigoted statement.Shouldn't you be glued to the TV kissing it every time the pope appears? Like right now as I type they are in the middle of what I'm guessing will be a 77 hour long mass

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
