There's also the issue of not questioning the clergy. We were taught that they were always right and not to be questioned. It was very much a 'how dare you' sort of thing if you implied a nun, brother, or priest did or said something inappropriate. We will never know how many instances were not reported. Certainly the number who stand up to say 'Guess what I've been doing to your kids' is too small to count.

I know this has been posted on AF before, but it seems particularly appropriate to this thread.

The gist of your argument is, "others do it too, and it's actually more of them!

He is off writing or copy/pasting a wall of text to come here and change our minds about child molestation that is covered up by religion.
If he keeps on with how it's okay because you can be forgiven...we are going to have a fight. Words better be chosen carefully.

Nishant, the bottom line is that the Catholic Church itself has repeatedly relocated alleged offenders, rather than handing them over to secular authorities for trial.
Your precious little pedophile-protecting club is also shirking its duty to pay restitution to all the people it has hurt.
The RCC is morally bankrupt. It's time for it to become financially bankrupt as well, which will go a long way towards stripping it of its power to harm humanity.

I love how they weave that into their persecution complex, too. They can't keep the lights on and people wont be able to get their totally necessary miracle crackers...why? Because whores and homosexers wouldn't keep their mouths shut.
