You keep missing, or ignoring the point as do most Catholics when they knee jerk excuse the behavior of their church in this regard.
A couple factors to consider are that of all people, whose who claim to be the representatives of Christ on the earth, have NO excuse for allowing or enabling any kind of sinful behavior. Catholicism takes the moral high ground on so many issues and not only turned a blind eye to the child sexual abuse, but actually enabled it and protected the priests by shuffling them around to new parishes and hushing it up.
Considering the Catholic church loves to take responsibility for the Bible, they sure don't do a very good job of obeying it.
Also, the damage done to someone spiritually by having someone claiming to represent God and engaging in behavior like that, is incalculable.
It leaves the poor kid with this image of God as being a child molester. What kind of loving father image of God does that portray?
Also, the criticism is not that the abuse happened to occur, but it's over the Roman hierarchy's despicable handling of it.
Everyone knows you can only do so much to stop a predator. Abusers will find a way.
But they don't need their superiors to watch the door while it's going on. THAT is where the Catholic church more than dropped the ball. It made itself complicit with the sin.
Another straw man. You aren't worth the time.
What does the kid who was diddled by a Priest care that in Islam its okay to bang 12 year old kids? I live in Boston. I have lived here for most of my life. What went on in Pennsylvania went on a hundred other places… Boston being extremely high profile example. These werent lies or propaganda. You belittle the victims with the whataboutism and conspiracy theories. It was bad-thats the truth.
