I don't know why, other than they've been brainwashed to think so, that they keep playing the "we/ve been here thousands of years card"....as if catholicism is the only one that's survived. It's not a matter of years on the stage.....it's a matter of truth...which escaped them long ago and therefore there could be no end other than what we see they've become today. And it certainly isn't Christian....it's just decorated with Christian trimmings...the real story is underneath that picture they draw... and it's anything but Christian.

The Vatican revealed in May 2014 that over the past 10 years...it has defrocked 848 priests who raped or molested children and sanctioned another 2,572 with lesser penalties, and how it's handled the more than 3,400 cases of abuse reported to the Holy See since 2004....The figures only cover cases handled directly by the Holy See, not those handled by local diocesan tribunals, meaning the total number of sanctioned priests is likely far higher........Only in 2010 did the Vatican tell bishops and superiors to report credible cases 'to police' where local reporting laws require them to....the Vatican began also in 2010 resorting more and more to the lesser penalty of sentencing accused priests to a lifetime of penance and prayer rather than defrocking them!....and so it goes!
