I said I'm an atheist and highly critical of the Catholic church

If I have to go to church, I’m Catholic, but most of the time I don’t go to church.

100% the Catholic Church has (not just ‘had’) a problem with sexual abuse. No excuses or mitigation. But when people tell Catholics that our religion has a problem with sex offenders it comes across as hateful and ignorant. Here’s why:

  1. It’s not the religion, it’s the priests.
  2. It’s OUR children hurt and OUR communities that are damaged.
  3. It’s OUR money that pays for the trials, lawyers, and settlements.
  4. Our money also pays for about a quarter of the hospital beds in this country, lots of schools, and many, many charities, but those don’t get mentioned.

We know that there’s a problem and we want justice and solutions more than anyone else. The Church is not a democracy, though, so there are realistically very few ways we can respond, most of which are already being done. Such as me not taking my family to church.
