16. Your logic is uncompelling

You are repeating the same stuff

Sadly, repeating a point doesn't make it wrong. Under most circumstances it means the point has been inadequately addressed (refer to your post), or outright ignored.

and it is skirting the borderline of saying that Catholic DUers are responsibility for pedophilia in the church.

No, it isn't.

It seems to me rather obvious the church is responsible for the pedophilia within its ranks. The issue at hand is whether or not self-described liberal Catholics are preventing reform through their continued attendance and monetary contributions to the church. If the church can move from scandal to scandal with little impunity from their rank-and-file, then there is little incentive for them to change the status quo.

Of course, I think if you asked liberal Catholics whether or not they wanted their tithes to contribute to the legal defenses of pederasts, or anti-abortion or anti-gay lobbying efforts, the answer would be a resounding "NO".

It amazes me how objectively we can talk about boycotting public universities as a way of pressuring them to buy domestic or non-sweatshop clothing for their merchandise, but the minute somebody extends that logic to church tithes, everyone loses their shit.

The double standard is quite obvious.
