And of course this is motivated by religion. Atheists seethe with hatred at the pope and any other religious figures who defy their world view.
Yes, yes, the scary atheists are evil bigots and want to persecute you. They couldn't possibly have legitimate concerns, such a notion is just silly.
Yes, there were no sexual crimes committed by Catholic clergy that the Catholic leadership covered up. It was all a huge lie created by those god hating bigoted atheists who hate all religion because everyone knows that atheists are hateful people intolerant of religion.
No, it was just an incredibly small proportion of clergy committing sexual crimes, being committed at an even smaller rate than the general population commits them.
Which would be fine if the Church leadership didn't try to cover it up, worked with authorities to ensure that investigations were conducted lawfully and objectively, and defrocked any clergy found guilty of committing crimes. But that apparently is not what happened.
Are you seriously implying he's a pedophile? Is ad hominem really the best you can do?
Actually, it is
somewhat true. I have an attraction to 15 year old girls. However, I do not use a position of higher authority to take advantage of 15 year old girls, nor do I have sex with them.
This evil immoral intolerant atheist can resist the urge to have sex with people 15 or under, why can't clergymen?
