And there is my issue with organised religion. The organisations have as much to do with politics as religion. Any of them can (and will) bend God to their purpose. Which includes the Pope professing denial of the Church's knowledge of abuse... doing so has nothing to do with the Catholic religion, everything to do with protecting the leaders of the church. This does a disservice to the many people who take benefit from their religion.
