lol. Well that settles it. If Rome says something, we better darn well not challenge Rome.
Who needs evidence when we have Rome's double-secret assurance?
This post perfectly summarizes your position and impeaches your voracity. Faced with mutually exclusive narratives automatically assume the Church and its clergy to be guilty and the exculpatory information to be false. I prefer to gather all of the information and weigh it thoroughly before concluding. I hold the credibility of the Vatican far above that of the various news agencies and my own objectivity well above that of the anti-Catholic menopausal dingbats that lurk and post in these threads.
