East Timor is very Catholic and thus the clergy exploits that. One priest opened an orphanage and raped every girl that passed through there for thirty years and other employees helped him with that. And yet many people still worship him and the president wants him out of prison although he admitted that he raped all those kids.
Another example is the archbishop who raped many boys so the Vatican exiled him so that he would not be tried. And yet many people want him back claiming that those were just lies by Bill Gates and George Soros, and they even believe that it is not a big deal if a child gets raped.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
