For me, the "few bad apples" defense only goes so far. Not every KKK member participated in a lynching, not every Muslim wants to kill Christians, very few Christians carry "death to our servicemen" signs......I agree with both!! Can’t understand it and could in no way support it. The only positive thought, or I guess a question, does this represent the entire Catholic Church or just some bad apples? I listened to a morning talk show earlier and it seems that back in the 80’s the church recognized this issue and started “treatments” for the bad apples. Not very familiar with the Church and how it’s laid out in territories, districts, etc.
But they ALL have a choice whether to support (literally) organizations that cover up/cover for those that do.
Why would the Church cover up/cover for these predator priests?
Cash flow, power and influence come to my mind.
As far as "treatments", it wasn't the priests that needed treatments, if the Church actually cared it would have been the victims who got treatments and the priests would have gone to jail.
