The point being the numbers. The Church did indeed protect priests, and in a way that forgot that the Church must be held to a much higher standard than
others and which in many cases sank to a CYA level. This is a case of blowing out of all proportion, and primarily aimed to tar the reputation of an institution that is a threat to the powers that be in our society. The very timing of this is suspect. We are just beyond the passage of radical legislation that will, in the end, man the end of the independence of Catholic hospitals and by extension to
other Catholic social services. The complicity of liberal Catholics in the passing of this hideous new law suggests that they had a role in this new campaign of villification of the pope, a pope whom they hate because he stands in their way.
Totally agree, and they’re falling into the trap. I posted pretty much the same thing on the freerepublic link above but it’s like talking to the wall. Their eagerness to attack the Catholic Church blinds them to all else. Very sad really as they’re next on the chopping block. Christianity out - Islam, which have similar beliefs and outcomes as commies, are in...they’re also much more easy to control by their imams whom I believe are in collusion with the lefties.
I agree the issue is being blown out of proportion for political reasons.
Which doesn’t mean the Church didn’t do some very bad things.

my only point too. For that reason, it has become a PR problem - some based on truth. That is indeed the problem.
