Your question was just to lure people to read your rant about sex crimes committed by the Church.

If you had of given an honest title you still would have gotten views.

It is true though that sex crimes done by priests have escalated out of control.
In fact some of the Catholic insurances companies have refused to accept new policies with them because the risk is too high.

But the sex problem is the least of their worries.

For example other questions to ask are , 'how did the churches get so rich?'

or 'what were they doing in war time - supporting armies?'

or 'who really is following the teachings of Christ , that refuses to participate in wars , financial corruption ,extortion and murder.'

For more information feel free to email me.
