The people who do them, for one. I never said that church teachings were okay with such behaviors. Yet, strangely, they try to cover them up anyway. It isn't that the actions are committed, as the church's teachings obviously condemn such things, nor do I believe that the church has ever officially condoned any such thing, but that the curch covered them up. Why? Their teachings do indeed condemn such behavior and yet they cover it up...why? Even if, for the sake of argument, the child molesting priests were not "true Christians", what would that change?
