I was brought up Catholic, and experienced both sides of the Catholic church on a somewhat fundamental level, and the pedophilia did play a large part in my leaving the church in the first place... but I believe it is as tolerant a christian faith I've encountered... I won't defend Catholics in depth here, but will say that if I were in some fucked up alternate universe to go back to the christian faith, the only way I'd go back would be Catholic. My upbringing seemed a lot less offensive, to me, than most of the other christian faiths I've encountered.
That being said, the whole bunch of christianity is indefensible, in pretty much every respect.
