“If you’re going to church-hop based on whether or not there’s hypocrite..”

Hypocrisy is one thing. Decades of criminal malfeasance and aiding and abetting is quite another. Then there’s attacking the victims of these monsters to toss into the mix.

If the RCC weren’t (allegedly) a church they’d have been shut down under the RICO statutes decades ago.

Actually, RICO suits have filed against several dioceses, and dismissed. I fully support turning those who commit these crimes over to the civil authorities—I have been doing research to build a case for going after some of these high-ranking offenders, which is one reason I follow threads like this. RICO is geared towards prosecuting leaders of legally-defined “enterprises” under certain specific conditions though; using it to shut down the entire Roman Catholic Church is outside its scope and not a feasible legal strategy.
