“What’s going on on this thread with the RC’s reactions is part of the problem within the Catholic church.
All the hand wringing on how the RCC is being *bashed* and those criticizing the situation have an agenda. Deflection all over the place and downplaying what this thread is all about.
How blinded can someone be to strain at a gnat (alleged Catholic *bashing) and swallow a camel (downplaying the abuse and mismanagement of it)?”
Not downplaying anything at all. Just simply pointing out to the fact that child sex abuse took place not just among those WHO SHOULD NIOT had been RC priests to begin with, but also by others who WERE NEITHER ROMAN CATHOLIC or PRIESTS as well. This is an across-the-board-issue, PERIOD. Those who just focus on one group and one group alone are doing it for the reason of having an “agenda”.
I am NOW done with posting on this thread.
Who ever said I am not an equal opportunity critic of any group who mishandles child sex abuse cases?
Show me another group that does that and I’ll condemn them for it, too.
Matter of fact, I was shredded by the Mormon’s in just the same why as I am by Catholics, when I spoke out against that FLDS debacle that happened in Texas some years ago.
