People who generalize an entire faith based on an occasional media story don't seem to have accomplished much personal contemplation.

When did anyone in this thread say your friend is a bad person for being religious?
Seriously, the only thing more annoying than the Catholic church condoning the molestation of children is people who come into this thread and make stupid posts defending religion for no apparent reason. It started with Killer Carlson and just spiraled.
If you don't like hearing bad things about the religion that you prescribe to, or that your friends prescribe to, stick your head back in the sand.
We are talking about an organization that has not only condoned but also willingly covered up and marginalized the molestation of children. The fact that you are accusing us "atheists" of attempting to link practicing Catholics to the child molestation by the Catholic Church as an organization is pathetic and tiring.
I really tried to stay out of this thread because the anti-atheists showed up early and made an attempt to act extra dense but I just can't. How you or anyone else in this thread can try and deflect just blame on the organization of the Catholic church by sensationalizing us so called "anti-religious" types is sickening and embarrassing.
Why don't you leave your friend out of this and try and concentrate on the fact that in the last who know how many years (2000? 500? 100?) the Catholic Church has had explicit involvement in the molestation of innocent children across the world and NA.
That isn't to mention the numerous other atrocities they have explicitly been a part of and the ones, like the holocaust, that they implicitly supported.
