It isn't a problem. I never said it was a problem. Is what I said was from the aritcle I gathered WHY I thought such data was being gathered. Obviously you all have a different take. FINE. But why should my husband and I being called all the PERSONAL names we have been called. I never attacked anyone PERSONALLY. Now I'm being accused of whining about the attacks. I'm not, I'm just point out, and also BTW, asking WHY, the personal attacks started first from the Catholics. IMO, it's because that is all you can do knowing that my take on the article is the correct one, which leaves you no defense but to throw out personal insults. Please do not get me wrong I am not directing this at you PERSONALLY. That is just the way the discussion went.

You're right most churches are going thru similar problems either/or abuse, and coverup. The reason, IMO, why the Catholic church is recieving so much attention is because, as you all are so fond of reminding everyone, THE RCC IS THE LARGEST.

You stick your head above a crowd you're going to get shot at.

WHINING about being singled out when you are forever pointing out about being the LARGEST, is just that, WHINING.

Well, I'm going to disagree. The RCC, in a way, because of the teaching, is considered to by hypocritical. Some members of the hierarchy are not in line with the teaching. We know that and that is what is behind the problem. Being the largest has nothing to do with it.

The other thing is that the RCC is the most hated and least understood institution on the planet. Not directed at you personally. Just a fact.
