Just once I'd like to see a Roman Catholic criticize the pedophilia scandal in the Roman Catholic priesthood without pointing fingers at everyone else, too.

You know they say the best defense is a good offense . But to do that you need solid material..

The fact is that sexual child abuse is far more prevalent among Catholic priests than any other group.. but that is not even the real issue.. the problem is always the coverup.. instead of outing the sin immediately and seeing to the prosecution of the offender, they hid them, covered for them and moved them around giving the perverts reason to believe their sin was "safe" in the church .

That practice is not only abominable but it opened the door for them to continue their sin in a different location..

The cover up would fall under RICO if the church could be held criminally responsible

I understand what you're saying, but to me, the sin itself is what is so corrupt. The cover-up is institutional CYA; it's men's natural tendency to deny the truth and hide their own failings.

But the homosexuality and pedophilia rampant in the Roman Catholic priesthood is emblematic of what that church is at its core -- it follows "another Christ."

And "another Christ" will always be degenerate and a lie.

lol. Exactly. If they didn't plead for "diplomatic immunity."
