Atheism-EN

With all the controversy regarding the abuse of children around the world by the Catholic Church and its concealment by the church hierarchy, of course - after all, it is still a very powerful organization and influence all over the world - who have been try to defend. Several defenses have been like "the Pope did not know!", Which seems very unlikely , but the defense more incredible, more surprising, more shocking is this: "the others do" !

"The others do." As if this minimally excuse the violation of children, after all "not just us."

But what makes the Catholic Church totally corrupt and immoral, and the hierarchy of the same guilty of heinous crimes for which they should pay with jail or worse, is not, believe it or not, the "mere" fact that a good number of them raping and torturing children for decades. And yes, this happens in higher proportion than in society in general - not that they were minimally excusable if the ratio was identical.

Nor is "only" the fact that they claim to be the only source of morality on earth, the representatives of the creator of the universe. Assert repeatedly that they are morally superior to followers of other religions, not to mention non-believers.

Nor is "only" the fact that the abuse of children by priests is part of the more deplorable because it is done by someone in a position of authority and trust in these children - and an abuse of authority and a complete betrayal of that trust.

No, the truly criminal part, and condemns the whole Church hierarchy, including the current pope, even members of the hierarchy who have never touched a child, is this: they try to cover it up for decades. The Catholic hierarchy has been aware of numerous cases of child abuse by priests part of the world, and their only concern has been the same self-protect themselves. Protecting your reputation. Not the protection of children. Not getting justice.

In many cases for decades, having to choose between the protection of innocent children and the protection of the reputation of the Church, that he always chose the latter. Whenever there are complaints against a priest, the complaints do not reach the police, nor the priest is expelled from the Church, it is simply transferred to another parish, where he will be new children innocently entrusted to violate. Repeat as necessary.

This is monstrous and unforgivable. Makes the whole Catholic hierarchy accomplice in numerous violations of children. And makes the Church one of the most morally rotten organizations worldwide.
