Frank_2001 has a valid point. For far too long, American Catholics allowed ‘Liberation Theology” infectred priests, flaming fagots in the seminaries, and Chester the Molester in a cassock molesting the choir boys.

Remember the famous Oliphant cartoon titled “The Annual Running of the Alter Boys at St. Paedophilia's Roman Catholic Church?

It was both heart breakingly sad, and sardonically true.

I don't care what anyone thinks of Catholics but NO ONE is gonna compare the MILLIONS of Catholics, who have fought and died for centuries for the freedom of Americans and people around the world, to NAZIS! Got it?

Good.

BS. Were there instances of priests molesting children? Yes. Were there failures of the local diocese to adequately deal with the issue (as in: have them arrested and defrocked) ? Yes. But in no way do those instances relfect the overall nature of the Catholic Church.

Do you know how many Catholics there are in the world? Do you know how many Catholic priests there are in the world? It is inevitable, due to the regularity of human failing, that there will be some priests who commit crimes or who fail in their vows, especially when you allow mentally disordered homosexuals to be priests, just as it is inevitable that you will find the same failings in EVERY OTHER profession. However, if you view the number of molestation cases against the size of the Church as a whole, you'll find that the relative number of these cases is actually very small, and is probably no greater than you might find with Protestant ministers, or public school teachers. Did Oliphant draw a cartoon describing the annual running of the students from public school teachers? No, even though the number of molestation cases in that organization dwarfs the priest molestation cases.

The hyping of the priest molestation cases was a deliberate exaggeration designed to attack the Church, and left-wing nutjobs like Oliphant are exactly the kind to perpetuate that propaganda. Stop being such a sucker.
