What are you talking about? You mean because Trump is accused of raping children?

Problem is that those same Catholic assholes are also railing against gay people, calling them filthy and not allowing them basic human rights because they see themselves as some sort of moral authority.
People like Oliver Sacks and Alan Turing who have done so much good for this world, far more than any Pope, are deemed as monsters by these assholes.
While also Pope defended this asshole till the end.

There are actually magic books like Bible and Koran that order people to do bad things like kill people of other religions, kill gays etc. and people have been known to act on them.

Yes one of the reasons this still goes on is because people are thought to see priests as some sort of humans that are better and holier than themselves, and if they do bad the accusers must be working with communists because this can't never be true.

Actually he's not taken off the streets. George Pell, walked free from court after being convicted of pedophilia. Anyone else would be jailed immediately.
We've all known about this for months and yet, Pell walked out of court, got into a car & drove away.
Ok, I stand corrected. The fucker should be in prison.
