I'm not trying to pick on you specifically. A lot of people are blaming the Catholic church. And I'm also not a fan of the church.

Not trying to pick on you specifically, but i think this is the weakest of weak excuses.
I'm a member of a professional association with an Honor Code/Code of Ethics (CFA) and our professional expectation is to abide by the Legal Guidelines (ie those established by the Government) or the applicable Guideline from our Conduct Code... WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.
For an association that claims to be bounded by the 'Ultimate Guide to Ethics and Morality' (written by God himself) to be putting the blame on the government is weak weak weak.
The only thing worse than a Government that set out to destroy a People are those who were complicit with it while concurrently bragging about their moral and ethical superiority.
