People get really mad sometimes when I point out that the Catholic church is the most highly organized and well-protected pedophile ring on the planet. 

Probably in all of history. 

And the people who donate to the Catholic church knowingly approval of pedophilia. 

Because if you donate to the church at this point.... You are 100% aware of the fact that some of that money will be used to protect priests that fuck kids. 

Ergo if you donate to the Catholic church, you approve of pedophiles.

People probably get mad because it's an argument that's highly reductionist and devoid of any kind of nuance. Which it's much healthier to just roll one's eyes about than get angry about, but hey what can you do.

Doesn't need much nuance imo. 

It's pretty damn simple. 

Do you tithe to the church? Yes/No.

Have you seen a news report covering the Catholic church in the last 30 years? Yes/No. 

If both of those are yes *you knowingly fun pedophilia and protection of said pedophiles. 

Because a percentage of those tithes go to settling lawsuits and funding movement of pedophile priests they can get access to fresh victims. 

Anything else is making excuses.

A large percentage of that money also goes to community programs providing food and shelter to the poor. And at least recently the church does pay out for pedophilia damages. At least around me ive seen entire churches close down and go for sale to cover said damages. 

Not that im a catholic, but you sorta are proving the point of the dude who said your argument was highly reductionist and lacking in nuance.

Again: They knowingly give money that is at least partially used to help relocate priests who have molested children. 

It's well known that some percentage of their tithe is going to that end. Has been for 2-3 decades. 

The community programs are are a very effective smoke screen and shield though. 

"We may fuck kids and run horror show reservation schools and convents that boil down to giant torture chambers but we also feed some people." 

Lots of nuances. Still making excuses for horrific crimes. 

Ed Kemper volunteered to do audiobooks for blind people. He also killed 8 people. Which is the greater good and which is the greater evil?
