[A.A. Cunningham]

Specifically cite those Catholics on this site that are defending "such corruption".

Let’s not go there because that would surely lead to antagonism. Discuss the issues, not the posters.

C'mon AA! The Kool Aid drinkers I am referring to are the ones complaining about a "witch hunt" and using the "everybody does it" excuse when faced with the multi-national phenomenon of priests being relocated and rehabilitated in the event of perversion. This has been going on for decades, even centuries, and a certain segment of Catholics persists in their "few rotten apples" defense after years of DENIAL.

The Church no longer has carte blanche in its affairs when it comes to criminality. 21st Century society will not allow it. Any "persecution" of perversion and corruption has been brought by the Church upon itself. Were it not for folks OUTSIDE of the Church, as well as the courageous laypeople who were IGNORED by the high hats for DECADES, the Church would do NOTHING to address such perversion and corruption but instead continue to practice the DENIAL that was characteristic of the 1950s-2000s.

There are plenty of adherants to the various Christian denominations here who are of the belief that his or her denomination (and/or members of his or her denomination) are above reproach.

Examples:

Baptist/Evangelical love of Mike Huckabee

Mormon love of Mitt Romney

RC denial/revision of past events

(For the record, I am a generic Christian of no particular denomination.)
