You just gave me an amazing list of reasons to confirm my view that you are a fully-paid-up shareholder in the Lie Factory. The shit about "blame the Jews" alone would prove beyond reasonable doubt that you go hunting for reasons to hate the Church with a lantern. There is no distortion too fucking ridiculous for you not to take it as the light of day. You are evidently looking for nothing but reasons to believe that Catholic priests are abusers and people like me their enablers. That being the case, why should I even bother to answer any of your trash? Your theory assumes that I and people like me are complicit. If I am, you have nothing to gain by having anything to do with me, and if I am not, then the position you have taken is so outrageous that, if you weren't a woman, my only honourable course would be to ask you to step outside and repeat it. Either way, there is no evidence in anything you say that any kind of reasonable dialogue can be started with you. But that is an astounding feature of Catholic and Christian haters of today: you say the most obscene things and imply the most monstrous depravity about us, and then you are surprised if any one of us is offended. If I believed of you half of what you believe of me, I would not so much as leave a note on your LJ; I would walk away from it in disgust. But you seem convinced that the profound and religiously-based depravity of Catholics is something that can be peacefully and politely discussed with Catholics. Well, welcome to planet Earth, mademoiselle. Hope you survive the experience.
