People who molest children are people who are attracted to children. This has nothing to do with Christianity.
The point is that the Catholic Church has been protecting them. I doubt one would associate them much with their Christianity if the Church actually did something about it, instead of protecting them. If an Atheist group were protecting pedophiles (Not sure how that would happen) then they should receive every bit of attention and scorn for it. Especially if they claimed to be the bastion of morality.
Now in cases where the church isn't protecting them, then their theism isn't quite as relevant.
What? The guy in the OP wasn't even Catholic. I have no problem with people starting threads/discussions about any group of people who are protecting pedophiles. Those people should be called out. But this thread isn't even about that. It's a thread called "damned Christians" where people post about any news story they can find of a Christian person doing something bad.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
