Wafflehead,
you say,
The Catholic religion should be disbanded immediately. Nothing Godly could possibly come from a religion that has turned a blind eye to such unforgivable crimes. The least the government could do is remove the tax-free status of the Catholic church. Then lets get rid of those other pesky religions that have popped up thousands of years after the fact
Nothing Godly,??????
Wafflehead, the Catholic church is the largest provider of health care and social services in America outside the government and i'm sure you'll find the numbers equally as large in other countries
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_health_care
The Roman Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of health care services in the world
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Charities_USA
Together with the local, diocesan-associated Catholic Charities, it is the second largest social service provider in the United States, surpassed only by the federal government
So who is going to pick up the tab if they are disbanded, the athiests?????? i don't think so.
Wafflehead, child abuse is a horrendous crime and i'm all for punishing the perpetrators, but you can't throw out the good with the bad.
i know, lets close all the television stations because of Robert Hughes and rolf Harris.
and lets close down the music industry because of Gary Glitter and Pete townsend and Gerry Lee Lewis and.....,
and lets close down Holywood because of Roman Polanski.
Get the point?
