In the first place, "all the child abuse and paedophilia" is hardly in the Catholic church (it just got the coverage, and yes I know it's from the quote you selected, not your comment); in the second place, the scandal in the Catholic church was over 90% percent a matter of homosexual abuse of adolescents, so in effect the Church learned the hard way what it should never have forgotten. And what secular government is apparently determined to ignore.

Yeah. Exactly. What the newsies don't get (and some of us don't get either) is that a shared mindset eliminates the need for conspiracy. They just all (a)think Homosexual behavior is good; and (b) the RCC is evil. So any sex abuse in the RCC MUST have been paedophilia because that's about all they have left of which to disapprove. And any ephebephilia on the part of Protestant clergy is just a random accident (except possibly in cases where such clergy are outspoken in their disapproval of sexual sin), while any sexual misbehavior from RCC clergy or religious is an organic consequence of their celibacy.

There's nothing alike assuming something to be true to help one prove it.
