That's not true at all. I highly doubt we'd ever knowingly vote a pedophile president into office.

The reason why racism is such a big taboo is because it's an ideology used to justify atrocities like this.

Do you think Catholicism is a race? Do you even know what racism is? Do you understand the difference between a race and a religion?

Racism justifies Catholic pedophilia? WTF are you talking about?

And WTF does the presidency have to do with it? Your comment was random af.

No it's not.

You said racism is more taboo than pedophilia. I used the presidency as an example refuting it.

I then explained why racism would be more taboo than pedophilia. Because racism gets used to justify greater atrocities. I know you're not that dumb, so quit pretending.

Catholicism is all the Catholic people put together. And it’s bad. It’s a horrible institution because it’s made up of horrible people. People who deserve to be discriminated against because of their beliefs because their beliefs are bad. If someone tells you they’re Catholic you should tell them that’s ****ing repulsive. And they’re repulsive sick people.

lol... i wasnt aware catholicism preached pedophilia.

Please don't ever argue on behalf of atheism because your points are dishonest and ridiculous.

Seems self contradictory to me.

Catholicism supports paedophelia on an institutional level, contributing to that power structure means that you're perpetuating it. You can separate the art from the artist, but if you pay for and support the art to the point where you're assisting the artist perpetuate what you're trying to separate from their art, you become a part of the problem. This goes beyond tithing too, since becoming a part of a church provides them with a social legitimacy that draws in more people and at the end of the day, more victims. Plus, criticizing Catholicism isn't just an atheist game, give some credit to the KKK.

In order to argue that catholicism supports pedophilia you would have to show evidence of that support in its doctrine or mission statement. Catholic philosophy does not support pedophilia, period, there is no debate here. Youre attaching a corrupted minority of the religion to the whole to support your position.

Actions speak louder than sales pamphlets. You can argue that abstinence and such led to the corruption of the Catholic institution, but that corruption is deeply ingrained into this millennia-old institution to the point where they're inseparable.
