If this thread was about the evils of pedophilia, then fine, let it go. But because it's also about crapping on organized religion - any religion - I'm saying I'm tired of these threads.

First of all, I wasn't personally directing anything at you. I think I kept my comment pretty generic. I was just quoting your post as the example.
Second... All I'm saying is the "you're just trying to crap on religion" argument goes out the window when we're discussing confirmed cases of child molestation.
My intention wasn't to accuse you of anything. My intention was to suggest that maybe people might want to use their voices and raise this issue with the people inside their organizations that have the ability to elicit change.
I couldn't care less if we're talking about a religion or a sport or an after-school study class. I honestly don't. Look at my posting history, I hardly ever post anything in a religion-themed thread.
My -only- point is that, with this particular issue, the proper response (in my eyes) is not to get your back up about "people crapping on religion" - it's to say, "Hey this is going on inside an organization that I am a member of. I will raise this issue with someone at my Church and make it clear that I won't tolerate it happening any longer. I will also encourage other members of my organization to do the same."
Believe me, if this thread was about the President of Soccer Canada saying the same things that the Pope just said, and someone responded by saying "Stop crapping on soccer!" I'd be making this exact same post about soccer parents needing to raise this issue with soccer officials.
Religion has nothing to do with this discussion. At least, it has nothing to do with
my part of this discussion. I can't speak for anyone else's intentions.
