It's not like we're all child rapists or people who cover up for them!
No one has made either claim.

No one has made either claim.

But it is an organization. You yourself consistently rely upon their official, approved Catechism in your discussions, rather than your own sensible self. The organization compiled that Catechism over the centuries; it was not simply the opinions of individual believers.

And again, no one has made that claim.

I don't for a moment think you approve it. I know you're a good person. But if you're still giving money to that organization, you're still helping to move those bad fruit around so that they may escape justice for their crimes.
