You knew that, didn't you? I guess your daughter won't be going to Yale or the like.

Again, where there are people, bad things will happen. That sucks.

Fact is, the Catholic church - not even counting any of the 40,000 other Protestant Christian denominations or the billions of people who follow other religions - is the single largest charity in the entire world.



The cover-up by the church goes back to confession and the nature of things that are revealed in the confessional, which is not something I expect you to comprehend, and which I will not get into due to that lack of comprehension. I definitely understand why it is so disappointing, however.
before is start ignoring you, i will just point out this very obvious fact, that all the 'good' done by the various religious organizations was not done out of the goodness of their heart. sure, some might of believed that but it was done to indoctrinate people. you want our help? believe in our god and donate to his good will. how very kind. they still do this in africa and other hellholes. want clean water? worship our god.
