Oh, I dunno... raping children and covering it up is pretty fucking lunar in my book.
Straw man fallacy.
'Lunar' means crazy. Pedophiles are not,they are evil. Raping children is a despicable crime,but unrelated to religious beliefs. Nor is covering up the crimes.That is about protecting the institution, to preserve power,wealth and status.That is immoral,but very rational. THAT'S what makes it so despicable.
