There are decades of proof the Catholic Church hid pedophiles from any investigation let alone prosecution. That is a written policy they had, that the current Pope said he is changing after 200 years. So they admitted to it. I don't know what kind of half-hearted defense you are trying. The only difference is that in 2019, they said they'd change and we're all waiting to see if they'll do something like start turning in all those they were hiding or just toss an occasional one under the bus.

The Church isn't innocent, it paid out millions in settlements:

Canada found 200+ graves of children the Church killed:

i mean, they never implied there wasn't. as of the past few decades though, the right has gotten a very good track record of deflecting blame of school shootings, molestation, and sexual assault onto marginalized groups, rather than the majority-rightwing groups who actually commit the majority of those crimes.

that is a real issue, and whataboutism doesn't help it. yes democrats are evil, a lot of us know that already. they're just marginally less evil

There’s no conversation to be had here, it’s a waste of both of our times.

A member of an organization, which has repeatedly lied about and covered up sexual assault of minors by its members was credibly accused of sexual assault. After being investigated the organization- and let me repeat this, this organization is notorious for covering up and hiding this exact thing- fired this person.

This person then immediately sought another job working with children.

You look at that chain of events, and think “this person was falsely accused“.

I look at it and say “typical Catholic Church, deflection and victim, seeking behavior by the offender“.

There’s nothing to talk about.
