Catholicism

[Last Things]

Every single accusation made over about the last 70 years was brought up and obsessed over.

And for good damn reason. Only an idiot supports a corrupt institution that protects pedophiles.

So which media coverage are you operating on now? Back when all priests were pedophiles or when they decided to focus on supposed institutional cover ups?

That's not even how the Catholic Church works. Individuals bishops are responsible for their priests. Individual bishops ordain and manage their priests. Whether or not individual bishops actually screwed up and put priests they believed were going to victimize children remains to be known if it will ever be known.

There is no evidence that priests are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population.

If that was done with teachers parents would be pulling their kids from schools tomorrow.

And for good damn reason. If only Catholics could apply that same logic to leaving the corrupt institution they continue to ignorantly support.

That's not logical. Schools are not full of pedophiles, but if they media reported every accusations since the 40s, people would come to believe it.

If belief is hope, then pretty much anything requires it. If I get a job, it is with hope for money and their hope for my work. Everything I do requires faith in something for us to function as a society.

There is a difference between religious faith and secular hope.

How is that?

Same as above.
Fundamentalist: "You are going to hell"
Atheist fanatic: "You are stupid"

They are not at all the same.

There is no such place as hell, but theists are ignorant.

They are the same thing. When they cannot say anything, they resort to insults or fallacies.
