Catholic Church spent $10 million on lobbyists in fight to stymie priest sex abuse suits - The money was spent in eight northeastern states where bills to aid victims of clerical sex abuse were in the works.

That’s a fair point, and I can respect the attempt at making rational discourse. See, what I was trying to get at it is that there’s a large majority of Catholics who have expressed their shock and dismay in regards to the corruption of the church. Am I responsible? No, I simply attempt to live my life in a way that I see fit and that includes practicing Catholicism. If I had authority in the Vatican, I would be making great strides to provide more oversight and make the church more transparent. I admittedly, don’t live in the Vatican state. I lack any sort of political power or fame so it’s not like I can influence anyone to do anything except express my disappointment and anger towards the social degenerates who molest and abuse children. But to say that we (Catholics) are in a psychotic pedophile cult because they are catholic is just like walking up to someone who practices the Islamic faith and calling them a terrorist. Which is Ironic coming from “progressives” who seek to include everyone and what not. But hey, I guess that’s the social cancer that we all know as r/politics
