"It is not only incorrect but insulting to an entire religion."
It has never been insulting to religion - show where it has
The genuinely religious were the victims of clerical abuse and religion has suffered because of how the scandals were swept aside by the Church hierarchy
It is this that has been the cause of the present reduced state of the church.
These arguments have centred around the church, not religion - nobody has ever suggested it was religion to blame
On the oyther hand, your statement "Afghanistan is a Moslem country yet does not eradicate bacha bazi." chooses to target the religion
I won't re-open the "implant" statements that have been part of the islamophobia of this thread
It is Catholic clerical abuse - abuse by clerics who were Catholic, that first caused this eruption - no getting away from that fact
Spreading it to other religions is fine if yoyu want to debate how religion is taught in our societies, but it will never alter the fact that Catholic clerical abuse remains a front runner in this particular race
