Last night in my state and your state, here is what happened...
- Many kids (including non-Catholics) got a great education at Catholic schools
- Many poor families (including non-Catholics) got free food at Catholic food banks
- Many homeless families (including non-Catholics) got a free place to stay at a Catholic shelter
- Many poor, sick folks (including non-Catholics) got free healthcare at Catholic hospitals
- Many parents availed themselfes of Catholic adoption services
Are Catholics perfect? Hell, no. But show me a religion, or any private group, that has done anywhere near as much charitable work?
You have fun with that search...
I assume you have bought into the theory that we're all abunch of pedophiles. Statistics show that other religions have similar rates of pedophilia, and that public schools have much higher rates of pedophilia. But you won't see that reported in teh liberal media, because the liberal media is sympathetic to teachers unions, but not to Catholics.
Every proest and bishop involved should be prosecuted fully. But the facts are, your kid is more at risk in public school than he is in Church. The otehr fact is that the vast majority of priests and parishoners have nothing to do with the scandal, and are as sickened by it as you are.
Sorry to interrupt your Catholic bashing rant with facts. The vast majority of American Catholic priests are selfless heroes, who work unbelievably long hours to serve others, for almost no pay. Our priest works in the elementary school all day, prepares for mass in the afternoons, and spends his evenings either visiting families or goingto the hospital to comfort the sick. He routinely works 15+ hour days. And he is one of many.
What do you do for others, that can even compare?
