I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

There are disfunctional families and abusing parents, but I will always support family.

There are inconsiderate and abusing teachers, but I will always support education.

There are pedophile priests, but I will always support Catholic Church.

There are bloodsheds and conquers my country did, but I always support my country.

Nobody is perfect, and every institution has its rotten apples, but also thousands of good people whose performance never gets headlines in our scavenging media.
Institutions have existed during centuries for a reason.

I see what you’re saying but when it comes to the Church things are a lot more complex. These scandals aren’t new, they’ve been going on for centuries. The only difference now is that the abuses have become universal news. The actual abuse is a huge problem by itself, but the fact that majority of the abuses have been covered up to save face is a major fault of the church. Church as we know it today is a manmade institution. All manmade insituitons are subject to fault and corruption. You don’t need the church or have to support the church to believe in God.

@DaughterOfTheDust I think the Pope should leave, but saying these scandals have been happening for centuries is exaggeration.
