Johnny, there are hypertechnicalities that we can debate all day. In the end, Catholicism is a set of guidelines designed to promote physical and spiritual well-being, and to encourage charity.

I take my golden retriever to the local Catholic hospital 2 or 3 times a month, to visit sick people who can be cheered up by a great dog. I see fellow Catholics giving communion to the sick, volunteers reading to sick children. Our faith motivates us to do these things. It's not all bad.

We're human, so we are far from perfect, we make colossal mistakes. But we don't just bitch and gripe. We roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty, trying to help. no other religion has as many schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, food banks, or adoption services. We sacrifice our money and time to keep these things going.

Despite what likwid says, there's a bit more to it than abusing kids!

How'd we get so far of the topic, which was supposed to be Biden-bashing?
