There is only so much verbal diarrhea you can put up with. A catholic complaining about the lay people 'abusing' the sale of indulgences, when for centuries they were sold by priests with a price list attached depending on what you wanted and who was doing it is bizarre. Now of course if he wants to talk about abuse we can of course turn to the endemic raping of children and systematic cover up by the catholic hierarchy, not to mention the years of mental and physical beatings at the hands of the clergy in 'schools', which make madrassers look attractive.
