When is time to stop going to the circus?
If you started seeing reports about a large number of clowns molesting young children at circuses, would you continue going to the circus? Probably not, especially if you have kids.
Why should the Catholic church get a pass (over and over) for priests who are child rapists? What about the continued cover ups and the slap-on-the-wrist punishments for the offenders ?
Revelations in the Catholic church’s decades-long child-rape and sex abuse scandals revealed “a repulsive institution — or at least one permeated by repulsive human beings who reward one another for repulsive acts, all the while deigning to lecture the world about its sin.” That was situation described by a Catholic as the straw that broke the camel’s back, compelling him to finally leave the church.
