I seriously doubt that you can back up the idea that Catholics would have no problem with a priest who molested children then saying Mass.

When Catholics blow off the issue of a priest who has molested children with *We're all sinners*, and *Sin in his life doesn't affect his duties as a priest as long as the priests intent is right*. it's easy enough to get that idea.

When Catholics aren't demanding justice for those priests but instead accuse those molested of looking to win life's lottery by filing false accusations, then yes, it's easy to get that idea.

When Catholics don't take the issue seriously enough to demand action from their leadership but rather accuse any non-Catholic who points out such blatant hypocrisy with charges of lying, then it's easy to get the idea that priests who molest boys aren't a problem for most Catholics.

Except that has never happened. Ever. You’re just making it up out of thin air.

And that isn’t happening either - except in those cases where someone believes there have been false accusations made (and there have been a some).

Except that you are making things up out of thin air. No matter what you think, there has - for instance - NEVER been a time that I have ever, nor any Catholic I have ever heard of, who has blown off “the issue of a priest who has molested children with *We’re all sinners*, and *Sin in his life doesn’t affect his duties as a priest as long as the priests intent is right*.”

I realize that Protestant anti-Catholics struggle with telling the truth. Lying comes easy to them I suppose because they believe they are actually doing good by lying against the Catholic Church or Catholics about what we teach, what we believe and what we have done. The lies of anti-Catholics are still lies no matter how convenient or self-serving they might be.
