Person A: "Funny how the Catholic Church responds so vigorously to contraception, but slowly moves to respond to child molestation."
My boy Mike: "Blaming an entire religion
based off of the actions of very few individuals who abuse power is
wayyyyy different than violating the religious liberties given to EVERY
American by our Constitution and fore founders. Never mind the millions
of dollars and hours our Church has spent repaying the mistakes and sins
of a few whose actions are statistically even across society, in and
out of religions. It pisses me off to no end to hear people throw out
uneducated and ignorant comments about the Catholic Church because of
several abusive clergy and some soundbite they read in the newspaper or
heard on evening news. If we're going to follow in that vein of crappy
persecution, I'm sure we can uncover a hell of a lot of secrets and
skeletons in the closets of other worldwide organizations. But no,
that's fine. Keep attacking the largest charitable organization in the
world, the one that protects and reveres the dignity of the human
person, the one that still believes in morality and the inherent goodness
of man...oh yea and the organization that educated you...twice."
Head. Shot. Boom. That boy just got served.
Yeah, just look at the kind of charity the Catholic Church is into: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2003/10/mommie_dearest.html

The organization to which you subscribe has many more issues than the heinous sexual abuse scandals. Refusing to acknowledge them only makes you look ignorant. At the very least you should know that they are true and criticize the Church in order to make it better, like people who express the highest form of patriotism in sacrificing their reputations by criticizing their nation's policies in order to make things better.
