When you are on the wrong side of an issue, you will engage in ad hominem attacks, two wrongs make a right, change the subject, dismiss any idea that doesn’t support you, misstate the facts, false allegations, and on and on……..

You seem to be trying very hard not to get the point I'm making: The problems within the Catholic Church are inexcusable and are being addressed accordingly. Meanwhile, you are afraid to identify your own church. Regardless, it is incontestable that the same problem exists there. It's just not getting the same level of attention, because your church is smaller than the Catholic Church, and because liberals have an axe for the RCC, due to its leading vocal positions on all key social issues. This part of the argument I am not writing to attack you or your faith. Men of the cloth are still very much men, regardless of what church the preach in. You're the one criticizing someone else's faith, not vice versa. You were drawn to this thread to voice an incorrect stereotype. It's my job to educate you enough that you change it. Catholic priests are actually far less likely to commit pedophilia than the population in general. No faith's clergy is immune to pedophiles.

I am, however, criticizing you personally, for pretending to care so much about Catholic children who are abused, while ignoring the children who get the same treatment in your own circle. You're in a glass house. No need to get defensive when you force someone to point out the obvious to you.

And, please God, there's really no need for us to "talk again." My position is based on hard facts. Yours is based on bigoted stereotypes. Get your head around the truth, and then get on with your life, a better person for it.
