Don't blame us, everybody rapes children® - Vatican

Classy. Why did you post earlier that you don’t hate Catholics when you clearly do? I would at least have some modicum of respect for you if you just came out and admitted it. You think priests are uniquely prone to be pedophiles because they are part of the Church. Someone can present evidence to the contrary, that the rate of abuse is much lower than in society at-large, but that doesn’t fit your bigoted worldview, does it? No, in your mind, any abuse by a priest, any incompetence by a bishop or any attempt to put the rate of abuse in context is solid proof that the Catholic Church as a whole is perfectly fine with molestation of a child.

On an article such as this, you have an opportunity to make coherent points that some bishops should have acted to protect people in their diocese. Or that the Church should have barred gays from seminaries. You would find strong agreement from any conservative Catholic on those points. Instead, your bigotry drives you to hyperbole. You go after the good men of the Church by claiming that they were all in on it, that they are more likely than not to be abusers and the Church, today, actively covers for them.

If you disagree, explain to me how “Don't blame us, everybody rapes children® - Vatican” is not anti-Catholic bigotry.

Simple, it illustrates the fact that instead of addressing the abuse, many Catholics deflect and point to abuse elsewhere as an excuse for the church. I find it disgusting.
