Its not just the Catholics anymore

Defending the Catholic church based on "It's not just us" Is a little like defending alcohol abuse as an acceptable lifestyle because it's not just drunk drivers who kill people.

If only catholics would put as much frigging effort into getting their house in order as they do defending it, there'd be a lot less to defend.

You know why you don't hear of atheists being up on child abuse charges? because you can't persuade a bunch of parents to trust their precious children to pedophiles, and persuade the children to keep quiet about it without that whole "god moves in mysterious ways, do not question, have faith" control shit.

Because it's not as controversal when it isn't hypocritical?

Who is defending the Catholic Church? Where has ANYONE here done that?

Agreed.
