Would words like caritas, veritas, love, charity, justice, compassion or grace exist or matter if there were no Jews or Jesus? If we were pagans and atheists from such? Would pederasty still be normal?
Pederasty was normal in Rome and all the ancient world, except for Israel. So it is described in Wikipedia. Today without Israel, it would be an age old tradition. I think slowly and too slowly, the religious institution of the Catholic Church has learned to deal with abusers of the system. How many new reports are there?
I have respect for people who say "because I think X, I joined group A to get things done"

How many new reports are there?Surely the problem is with abusers of children, not abusers of "the system" - what system?And as for "how many reports" the real problem has always been how many cases were unreported because religious hierarchies managed to suppress, protect, intimidate, or convince kids that it was normal.By their deeds shall ye know them.
