Ok...name five specific organizations that fit these criteria:
They have 1. systematically, 2. at the highest levels, 3. for decades, 4.in countries all over the world, 5.covered up hundreds, if not thousands of instances of child rape, 6. protected the perpetrators from punishment or even discovery, 7.abetted them in gaining access to new victims 8. arrogantly presume to be able to dictate moral behavior to the whole human race and 9. attempt to deny human dignity and legal rights based on their "moral authority" from "god"?
When you can't name any, and start backpedaling and moving the goalposts on your original claim of "hundreds, maybe thousands" then maybe you'll understand why the Catholic Church merits special attention on this issue.
And as I acknowledged in my very first line that this is a larger problem than the Catholic Church, why you would keep harping on that point is a mystery. I just happen to be focusing on that aspect of it, since this is the religion board and not the public school board, and since the Vatican and its competence on moral issues is the subject of this thread.
And yes, I am prejudiced against fundamentally homophobic and misogynistic organizations that seek to deny people fundamental rights and human dignity. Aren't you?
