Ever since the Pope announced his resignation, it's been a Catholic-bashing free-for-all on DU.

6. It is not acceptable here to blame every follower of Islam

for the actions of a few, even when those actions are approved of by some mullahs. (And I want to note, disapproved of by most mullahs!)

However, many here blame every Catholic who drops money into the basket each week to keep the lights and heat on at their local parish for enabling every priest pedophile, every bishop involved in a cover-up and most of all, for the anti-gay and misogynistic statements coming from the hierarchy.

BTW - if you don't know how different the attitudes of the sisters are from those of the hierarchy, you haven't been paying attention well enough to make a valid comment.
