'The ONLY reason this has traction is because it's all about destroying Christianity (in this case Catholicism).'
Wait, Catholics are Christian now? Does this mean you're going to stop the anti-Catholic bullshit or are you just a hypocrite?
'Where were these zealots when the Pope was a Cardinal?'
The same place they are now, except with the old Pope. Who cares about him when he's a Cardinal? He isn't head of the organisation responsible at that point. But as soon as he is, by helping to continue the whitewash he is just as responsible.
'BECAUSE THIS GIVES THEM A BIGGER HEADLINE WITH WHICH TO DISCREDIT CHRISTIANITY.'
Are you not concerned about a child abuse ring that goes from the top to the bottom of a 2bn strong organisation's leadership? Or do you just look away when the Pope asks you?
'For the record, I am not Catholic, I think the abuses of the church stink, and those involved should be prosecuted.'
So you do agree, you just resent sharing an opinion with atheists. Big man.
'But this is NOT about any of that, it's about the hateful agenda of the atheists to do anything and everything they can to shake people's belief in God.'
Prosecuting paedophile rings is shaking people's faith in God? Dosen't the fact that all these paedophiles exist shake their faith just as much? Surely by getting rid of them you'd be purifying the church and making God happy?
'Folks like Dawkins and Hitchens are very miserable people...and they want the rest of us to share in that hopeless misery.'
Oh look, that old chestnut. Yes, I'll bet the Priests are a lot happier than the atheists, they know they'll be left alone with the choir boys because the sheep in their congregation will look the other way.
