Very good. Thank you, TSgt. A quick and pertinent response.

But inaccurate.

TSgt: A FReeper recently told me that the church had eliminated all cases of abuse and that abuse now only occurs in public schools

What Freeper Elendur actually said: “in the past 2 decades, the church rate, has been reduced to almost zero.

Problem: Are the words "eliminated all cases" and "almost zero" synonymous?

Solution: Let x = the number of Catholic sex abuse cases. In the latter phrase, x > 0. In the former phrase, x = 0.

An excellent example of a Freeper who is both mathematically and linguistically challenged.

You're right. I did let that exaggerated misquote on the part of TSgt slide. Why? Because I wanted to get quickly to the point: why exactly are the litigators and the media focused in on the very institutions which most publically reject homosexual practice per se?

Applying the universal hermeneutic clue "Cui bono?" I get this interesting hypothesis: they want to morally discredit the institutions which present a public moral objections to the gay political/social "new normal" movement..

Easy prediction: next up will be the LDS.

It’s typical to see FRoman Catholics go to the end of the earth to protect pedophiles.
