I can assure you, I most certainly am not hurt. Read the parable of the wheat and the tares. I just choose to take Jesus at his word when He gave the Church His promise of indefectability. The bad shall not overcome the good.

You shouldn't take try to cover for them in this thread at all, really!

Me pointing out the metaphorical plank in the Protestant eye when it comes to the same exact issues, though a much higher occurrence in modern times, does not equate to me covering for the Catholic church.

Trying to say something about other churchs/religions right now is a bad look for you.

Sorry, I forgot we're not allowed to point out uncomfortable truths about non-catholic churches, or point out facts about the article posted in the OP, like how many if not most of the accused (though not credibly so for most of the accused it seems) are not even priests, but are laypeople.

The priest have been having this major issue for years

So has every other church and secular institution that has ever existed. What's your point?

A personal friend was abused by a priest, and yes years ago but it happened. Don't defend it in this thread

I'm not defending this behavior just by pointing out that catholic priests don't have a monopoly on pedophilia.

In-law family member who had 2 sons who were both gay priests. Feel sorry where they are stationed.

Going to provide any details, or just make a baseless emotionally charged claim and expect us to just take you at your word?

What part of that post was covering for priests?

Yes they have. And its deplorable. That said, only a fool would believe that clergy abuse is limited to one faith. Its common sense to realize, if the various Protestant faiths had an established hierarchy and governing body (for better or worse) such as the Catholics do, there would a lot more coverage of their failures as well.
