First of all, thanks very much for a sane post. It's been loony around here.

Your anger is justified, but you should spare some of it for the church.

Trust me, I do, for any genuine perpetrators. But the title of this thread is "Nifonging the Catholic Church" and frankly I'm sick of priestly pedophilia, no matter how seldom it occurred (Ann Coulter says the percent of guilty priests is 0.12%) coming up on every single anti-Catholic bigoted thread on the Religion Forum

From the same old suspects, too.

Yeah, I do get your point. The anti-Catholics seem to really slobber over the opportunity this situation presents. I'm not talking about those who seem pained by the whole situation and angry at the guilty, but those who seem to enjoy the topic--they don't care one whit about the victims, they just love the church being in trouble.

While I have strong feelings about how the church handled this situation, I've been in the presence of people (look where I'm from) who seem gleeful when talking about it. The victims, victimized in absentia.
