I don’t hate Catholics.

I hate pedophiles and the leaders and organizations that protect them.

It’s the church that is ignoring the problem.

By the way, where is Cardinal Law? Cardinal Mahony? Cardinal Bertone?

All of the protected pedophiles, how many will cast votes to elect the new pope?

Good. Three out of a hundred Cardinals. Hate the rest of them, including those who in the last 50 years died for their faith.

So I think Cardinal Law is an A———? Yes, but I also think several of the bishops who have been killed for opposing criminals/human rights abuses etc. are part of the church too.

The last year I worked in one African country, we lost 32 missionaries of various churches to attacks: including one doctor, six nuns, five priests, one bishop...most of whom I knew.

so do I judge the church on a few people I read about in the press, or do I judge it from people I actually know?
