On the attacks on the Catholic Church

284. obvious bigotry

Yet you ignore where the bigotry originated from. And nice argument from authority there too.

So, don't criticize the church because it's too big? Too difficult? They do good work so ignore the bad? There are good people in the church? I see tons of people jump to the church's defense, but few of them really condemn the bad stuff, just a bunch of people sitting around talking about how there are good Catholics, and how any criticizer is also demanding them to stop the good works. Of course if you don't fit the mold the RCC sets out, you don't get that resource (except for some charity that is a reach out that will inevitably be trotted out to show there are some that aren't like it).

Look, if you call yourself Catholic, then it is perfectly reasonable that people question you on certain main issues, like pedophilia, homophobia, sexism, and so on. I saw someone write that they do just that about atheists, that they question their stances on all kinds of things because some other atheist said something that they interpreted in a very wrong and narrow manner, so obviously all these people think the same way and have to prove they don't, or they just assume they are assholes, but no one ever jumps to Atheists defense like they do to the RCC.
