catholic apologists not getting enough support here? Have you considered that many here are ex-catholics and for a very good reason? It comes down to a choice. Do you side with those who have little to no power (abused children) or an institution that protects their abusers? I only have so much time and energy to give. I choose to give it to those who have been injured. I choose not to contribute time or money to anyone or anything that harms kids or abuses people's faith.

Do you ever wonder why people stay in abusive relationships? I wonder why people stay in abusive institutions. Is an abusive spouse all bad? Is he or she more nuanced than that? Sure, but what difference does it make? If he or she is abusive why maintain the relationship?
