No. NOT the religion.
But MULTIPLE (many, many, many) INDIVIDUALS within that religion.
For the priests, you have the INDIVIDUAL priests who committed the child molestation, and those that covered it up.
For the "support", you have the catholics who KNEW these actions were occurring, and DONATED MONEY ANYWAYS.
They would have to have known that SOME of their money would be going to "hush up" victims, allowing the pedophile to get away.
To try and pretend that some responsibility can't be associated is the "pathetic" part.

The difference being is that if I KNEW that money was going to be used by a cop to COVER-UP the crime, you can bet your bottom dollar I would be complaining to stop it.
And you would too.
And it wouldn't be about the "taxpayer dollars", but rather the very crimes involved.

Likewise for Catholics"...
Nice little trick...  |
I suspect you have no comprehension of what that means.
I don't have this standard.
I am simply asking the question of those who DO have that standard of heightened "responsibility"...
The REAL trick here is how you hold Obama's feet to the fire for "Wright", but you give ABSOLUTELY NO comment on the Catholic situation.
Bravo! You have completely side-stepped my point, thus
PROVING my point.
Maybe your next response can explain how
you don't see any responsibility between Catholics "donating" money which they should know is being used for covering up a crime, when you do hold a responsibility for Obama to Wright.
