  • I am not apologizing for the horrific abuses the church caused and covered up.

    I was raised Catholic but no longer attend. Largely in part to these horrible abuses that were covered up. I lost faith in the institution.

    Perhaps our difference is in what we view as “the church”. I see it as more than the institution and the terrible leaders it has had and still does. The many people who attend and follow that faith also constitute what many would define as the church.

    By your comment you are clearly an atheist which is fine. But you are wrong when you say the church, i.e. all the people that follow that faith, exist to harm children. That is offensive.
