Everyone else gets locked up.....priests get sent to a new location....something wrong there, don't you think ????
And as for the Pope....he's been sweeping this stuff under the carpet, it was his job !!!! Don't you think he should be held accountable for that ???

People look up to the church for spiritual guidance. Don't you think they deserve better than to have their children abused sexually ???

Nobody is attacking the Catholic Church.....they are attacking what the Catholic church is doing about a very serious problem...and that is very little.

"What the Catholics have done to children is dwarfed by how the Muslims have treated their children and women"
I can see Im banging my head against a wall here. The Church has made great leaps in the past decades under great scrutiny from the public, some chose to not see the changes. So be it.

What has that to do with anything ???? I'm sure the Muslims will look after their own problems, and we will look after ours.
The Muslims are our brothers and sisters, their problems are ours.
