People who donated money into the coffers that ended up paying BILLIONS in settlements and hush money, aiding and abetting child molesting criminals by shipping them off to a new parish with fresh victims?
(And how many priests were actually convicted for aiding and abetting child molestors?)
And how much discussion did it take for the Catholic church to get some standard on child molesting priests in the ranks of the clergy?
The decisions on what to do with gays came quicker and more easily, which should scare people.
Me personally? I find a lot of the attempts to place responsibility to Obama for "Rev Wright" as malarkey.
Likewise for Catholics.
But for those who DO try to blame Obama for Wright, shouldn't the same standard hold true for an issue that lasted longer, was more pervasive, and involved oh $$$ much money donated to the cause?

It seems YOUR standards aren't evenly applied...
You're equating an individual (Wright) to a whole friggin' religion (THEE whole of Catholism), which is unfair to those within the church that have nothing to do with the crimes you've shown...And an attempt to throw guilt on them because of their donations is pathetic...
I assume you also not sleep at night and spend multiple days in therapy with hand wringing because your taxpayer dollars go to a cop who stole from the evidence locker...
PS - I like the way you first say "People who donated money into the coffers that ended up paying BILLIONS in settlements and hush money, aiding and abetting child molesting criminals by shipping them off to a new parish with fresh victims?" and then follow it with a personal absolvtion of "...malarkey.
Likewise for Catholics"...
Nice little trick...
