Come on now. How can you blame the Catholic Church for anything that happens in Africa

I "blame" any Church (not just Catholic) or church leader which is hypocritical. In this case I blame the Catholic church culture which lauds male heirarchy above all else to the point of abuse of its followers, including children and sexual exploitation of women.

The structure of the Chruch hierarchy is not the issue here, much as you would like to make it so. As long as men and women are subject to sin, evil acts will occur. Nothing in Catholic teaching condones such acts. Indeed, Catholic teaching condemns all types of illicit sexual activities (rape, abortion, homosexuality, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.). That they occur at the hands of the shepherds of the Church is a testament to how successful your 'anything goes' movement has been in infilatrating positions of authority.

Your use of tragedies to advance your political agenda is shameless and disgusting. I'll pray for your conversion salvation.
