But, I suspect it is too busy burying the stories of its pedophilia and protection of dirty priests by Ratzinger. Tragic, but expected when men focus on themselves. Is this more of the non-hate which manifests itself in the “love” of little boys?

Hmmmm..you are aware, I assume, that the incidence ofclergy preying on young boys is FAR more prevelant in the protestant clergy than it is in Catholocism.....and the protestants are usually married which exacerbates the situation. Do Catholics have their share of idiots, of course we do, but in no greater numbers than any other religious group.

"Do Catholics have their share of idiots, of course we do, but in no greater numbers than any other religious group."

You don't seem to catch the enormity of the problem with the RC organization. They claim exclusivity to being the "true church", they claim that each of the ordained priests is another "Christos" (Jesus on earth), they claim that these men may absolve others from sin, they claim that they ALONE speak the gospel. Now...this is just the Catholics "share of idiots"?

Few could argue that the Catholics certainly have a number of idiots, but to use that as a reason to turn the focus from those claiming they alone have the "keys" to others is disingenuous. Can't have it both ways, exclusive and flawed. I think we all can tell which it really is.

Go read what is going on at this thread: "Vatican fights to distance Pope from abuse scandals"
