[Invincibly Ignorant]

Not a trump card just a simple reminder that documents are not always what they appear. Again, the simple fact that there are bad people in positions of power doesn't mean that the organization is corrupt and illegitimate to the core. And that is what you are attempting to portray

Don't think that's what he's trying to portray. But a little acceptance of culpability would be nice. The anti-semitism in NT writings have done much to foster attitudes over the years. It wasn't until Pope John XXIII that the word "perfidious" was taken out of the blessings regarding Jews. The same people always flock to the defense of Pius XII, the quiet one, on these threads.

Has the Catholic Church ever done anything before 1950 that benefited mankind, in your opinion? And if so what? As far as your comment on recognizing culpability is concerned, I can't think of an organization that has dome more to make amends for the sins of some of it's members than the Catholic Church. The fact that no amount of Mea Culpas will satisfy some speaks volumes about them.
