I'll express my disgust for religion here because I feel it's pertinent, I feel it's what empowered these repugnant people. It's what convinces the flock that priests are the conduit to the almighty, that they possess supernatural powers to communicate with an imaginary being.
Isn't that the crux of it? Pretending to have special knowledge to frighten people, to commit crimes and get away with them?
Religion is absolutely deserving of ridicule and those who defend the church, faith and religion need to do some serious reflection.
Only the church leadership? How about the hundreds of priests that have raped and abused children? Yeah, those same disgusting people who claim to speak for God and can reveal his will.
Faith is just an excuse to believe in flat out absurdity with zero evidence, it's such an embarrassing weakness of mankind. Yeah, nonsense?

Not that it matters, but I don't think this is true for Catholics and many mainstream Christian religions.
You may be thinking of mega church evangelicals like Kenneth Whatshisname.
