I refer you to post #66:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/893032/posts?page=66#66 I am here because most of these idiots are not fit to sit at the same table with every single Catholic priest I have ever met. I was schooled by priests for sixteen years without incident. As a matter of fact, I can say that I don't know a single person who ever had a complaint about a Catholic priest. Laypeople, sure. But no priests. This whole "scandal" is awful, but it has been blown way out of proportion by the media and bigots who hate Catholicism for no good reason. The Catholic Church is the most benevolent charitible and Christian organization in the history of God's universe. If you disagree with some of its rituals, that is your right. Nobody if forcing you to join.
