though my statement wasnt nearly as ignorant as the catholic church was when it comes to child abuse.

What happened with child abuse was truly reprehensible, no one should ever argue that point. It is the darkest event in the history of the faith.

However, to say that it is a Catholic "belief" to harbor and save pedophiles is over the top.

I agree it's not a "catholic belief" but hard to argue that it's not a catholic church belief given the extent of the coverup!

you are correct. it is not a catholic belief and catholics out there were the ones harmed by this. It is more like Catholic leaders' and the Vatican way of protecting the worst of criminals.

Lots of Catholics do lots of great and selfless work all over the world. The abuse scandals suck to be sure, but I don't think it's fair to lump the entire lot of Roman Catholics into the same boat.
