Nuns Supplied Priests With Their Victims?

Both my grandmothers were educated by nuns (on opposite sides of the world) and neither ever had a good word to say about the Catholic clergy. Nuns can be as abusive as priests.
 
Religion : An institution of control.
Which in itself is not a bad thing, its just that big parts of the world have outgrown them, replaced them with something better, safer, more just.
Take any institution that goes way back and it will have these old power culprits, mismanagement and abuse. Military and police are good examples too, though military have been through sorts of a reformation(western militaries that is).

It's not always a choice based issue really. That's where the youth indoctrination comes in, also the 'you can have this aid but you have to take this bible school too' favorite of missionaries. The Vatican has money, organized followers, and knows how to run PR. It's why the majority of catholics and non-catholics both still consider Mother Theresa to be synonymous with virtue and kindness, when she was actually a cold sadistic poseur who's 'aid to jesus' was blowing smoke for pedophiles in funny hats.

I was raised Catholic, don't think I ever really believed in it though. My mom claims that Catholic priests raping children is a plot by liberals to take down the church though so that gives you an idea of how they hand wave it away.
 
Maybe the nuns thought it was better to give children to the priests than to actually "service them" themselves...
 
Will this be enough?

So you think only the Catholics are sick?
The Episcopalian Cult is founded on the principle that a man has the right to chop his wives head off any time that he pleases and their women of our generation have fought for the right to be priestess of the cult.

One of the craziest persons I ever met was an Episcopal Reverend. They also have no qualms about imbibing like the bulk of the protestants.

Weird to take a "whataboutism" stance here...

Apologists are rarely concerned about thread title and subject in my experience. That one in particular doesn't really know much else, going by posts anyway. The responses to thread subjects he/she finds inconvenient always follow the same recipe.

The outrage clouds over the fact that no one is saying child abuse committed by clergy is unique to catholicism, they're just addressing the subject. A person can, in fact, be disgusted by priests raping children regardless of the denomination involved. This isn't a mutually exclusive proposition that distinguishes between creeds, and people like myself use the term 'organized religion' as a general term for a reason.

Having said all that, in the spirit of fairness I will submit that I have known some outstanding catholic nuns who were lovely people. My next door neighbor is a devote catholic and I trust her with my kids. There are some Jesuits who have my respect as well. I don't consider catholicism an enemy, but as a citizen I would rather go without it's pros than suffer the cons. Acknowledging the science behind astronomy or climate change is all well and good, but if it comes from a group that says nevermind about all the child rape, what are we going to do about condoms getting to 3rd world countries? Nope, try again. Here's an idea, let's make their tax exempt status dependent on children in their care not getting used as Fleshlights. End any and all forms of legal sanctuary for accused, they should be going through the same system non-ordained pedophiles and pederasts do.

I was a Catholic. When the pope didn't even recognize that there were priest who were harming kids I decided to never set foot in a Catholic church again.

BTW, JW's are crazy. How long have they've been saying that the end of times is near. And, every time they are wrong. They keep pushing back the date, until they just say that it's anyday now. .

For most Christian sects, it's been the end times for 2000 years.

Catholic, protestant, evangelical, Jewish, Muslim, etc., etc. are all fucking crazy and they all believe in crazy shit. It's like everything else, if there are more than one of something, there will be some that are the worst.

All accurately summed up in a neat little package by signature line...
