That is a very interesting and 'almost' believable viewpoint. To me it just re-enforces the power of hierarchies in churches, and the level of delusion in the laity.

Just one of the many reasons I am an agnostic atheist and have no wish to be associated with ANY quasi atheist movement if there were such a thing.

I am sure you are right, yet it amazes me that there was not and is not, a greater uprising amongst the laity now that these matters are open knowledge.

Catholics STILL support their church and give any manner of special pleading for things that were and still are endemic in the Catholic ( and other) churches.

Witness the Vatican wishing to 'handle' ( pardon the pun) the case of Cardinal George Pell 'in house' with little credence to the fact that he is in jail in Australia a convicted criminal and paedophile.

To me it sucks donkey balls.

I think you still misunderstand what the Vatican position is on Pell. They have acknowledged his conviction in Australia. All they are doing is pondering what to do about his status as a Cardinal.

They must defrock him despite any 'in-house' enquiry which will actually be useless...just more face saving lip service to justice, from the corrupt Catholic Church..
