Anyone noticing how quiet our catholic apologists are becoming?

[cleanhippie]

As more and more evidence of criminal and evil behavior continues to indict the hierarchy of the church, it is becoming more and more obvious that those in the laity who failed to strongly oppose the cover-ups by obfuscating and making excuses, hoping this would all stay under the rug are going to share a piece of the responsibility for their support, by no longer having any credibility on anything having to do with this.

And that is a good thing. I will certainly not be giving anyone who continues to obfuscate and deflect, as some have done here on DU, any platform at all from which they can continue their piss-poor excuses. I hope you will do the same.

1. Careful

Seriously,

[cleanhippie]

2. Careful about what?

I'm done accepting more excuses and obfuscations. Aren't you?

[mr blur]

3. As I've said, "Defending the indefensible" However, they rarely do,

even less so these days.

[progressoid]

4. It's finally becoming painfully obvious that this isn't

just a couple isolated cases. And EVERYBODY knows it.

[cleanhippie]

5. Well, everybody KNEW it, but many apologists here refused to acknowledge it.

And we all know why.

[skepticscott]

8. Well, some have continued

to lie like....well, a carpet...about it.

[cleanhippie]

10. I'll bet they wish it could just be swept

back under rug.

[Nevernose]

13. Well, I sure as hell don't know why

And without me, there is no "all of us." Why anyone would make excuses for systematic international child rape is not something I'm sure I understand.

6. How many thousands of "isolated incidents" are needed

before you acknowledge that something systemic is happening? I wonder.

[progressoid]

7. And thousands systematically swept under the rug.

[idwiyo]

9. All of those incidents are counteracted by a List. With names on it. Why do you hate Joe Biden?

[Rob H.]

11. But, but, but they're changing the church from WITHIN!

By...uh...still going to services every week and...um...continuing to give them money. That always works when it comes to forcing corrupt institutions to own up to and stop the bad things they're doing, right?

12. The Little Bummer Boy

Here's a link to an ancient parody song I did on this awful subject.
BTW should you decide to listen, LoFi plays just as well as HiFi @ Sound Lift & you may add to the 323 votes my song now has

14. Why wouldn`t an American liberal want to belong to a third world dominated conservative church?

What could possibly go wrong?
