the Catholic bashers

Yes. We should not talk about pedophile rapes, and those who enable them. Our greatest concern must remain on quashing concern. All else is trivial. Truly, the greatest sin is against the Church.

RCC Apologetics list of excuses:

1. It happened a long time ago
2. They aren’t pedophiles, they are homosexuals
3. Other people do it, we don’t do it as much
4. It was the psychiatrists fault
5. It was the bishops fault
6. The “victims” are just out for money
7. It’s a great conspiracy against the RCC by the homosexual media

You have no idea of what the Church is currently doing to prevent this from happening. Currently the Church is doing more to end child abuse then any other organization. They are doing this through extensive training for children as well as adults and background checks for all volunteers that can have contact in any way with children. The people of the Church have learned for past wrongs and are now doing everything they can to protect children.

However, some will use past mistakes to bash the Church forever. What they do not realize is while the members of the Church are imperfect, the Church is ordained by Christ.
