Quote:Again, I'm not defending it because there were a lot of cover ups. I agree it was wrong. However teachers molest kids
I'm glad to hear the first part. I've run into catholic apologists who insist that the priests were unfairly accused. Glad you aren't one of those.
As for teachers? Yeah, it happens. And when they are caught they are turned over to the police for prosecution - not moved to other schools where they can do it again.
And before you protest, remember....

Quote:Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future pope and archbishop in Munich at the time, was copied on a memo that informed him that a priest, whom he had approved sending to therapy in 1980 to overcome pedophilia, would be returned to pastoral work within days of beginning psychiatric treatment. The priest was later convicted of molesting boys in another parish.
Herr Von Popenfuhrer himself is in it up to his unholy eyebrows.
You can't be free of catholicism until you understand what a power crazed bunch of scumbags run the church and what their crimes have been throughout the centuries.
