So you're an atheist now? Or at least an agnostic, right?
Surely you're not one of those filthy Protestants? Just like those evil horrible pedophile pastors! (this is sarcasm)
And more seriously, surely you're not under the impression that one priest being bad makes the whole Church invalid? Priests are not infallible and are not perfect, that would go against scripture which the Church never does.
If the Church was susceptible to the machinations of the Devil and the sinfulness of Man, it would have fallen a millennia ago. And that's being generous. We can scarcely keep a functioning government going for 300 years, let alone 1000.
You might want to double check this post. Make sure you're not replying to the wrong person...
May have misread him, and may have been thinking about some of what we later discussed that he likely didn't read.
He only replied to my admittedly lazy whataboutist comment. I still stand by it, of course, but I could have been clearer and gone into more detail with that one.
I was thinking he was saying he was a former Catholic who left because of the pedo priests, but I suppose I simply made that up.
I think you're reading a lot into comments that aren't there.
Like when you thought I was saying that every single person in the Catholic Church was a pedophile.
A rational person would have known that wasn't what was meant by my comment. Or would have asked for a clarification if in doubt. And then when in further discussion it was shown that I obviously wasn't saying that.
I think you're just overly defensive about it. 🤷♀️
Do you have trouble reading, or are you skimming? I do write a lot, but nowhere in there did I say you said that.
What I did point out is that the only way to read your comment is this: you're singling out Catholic as separate from Christian, and then hyperbolically claiming the whole Catholic Church are pedophiles. That can only mean you're insinuating a higher rate among Catholics.
If you said "the entire Catholic Church scandal" or even "Church thing" it could be read as just making a list, but you left that bit off, and I can't read your mind.
I even debated your meaning, and did a double take at the wording. When I realized it flat out said "entire Catholic Church", I came to the quite rational conclusion that you were making a dig towards Catholics for having a uniquely bad pedo problem.
That was my only problem. Your comment was disproportionately pointed at Catholics, and of course I am one, so that hits a little deeper. Though, being the exceptionally fair (and egotistical) person I am, I very likely would have also said something had you said all Protestants are pedos. That is false too.
The rest of your comment I thought was perfectly fair and reasonable, I was just peeved at what appeared to be your inability to keep your bias against Catholics out of it.
