5. The church keeps insisting...
..that they care so much about the little children.

They don't give a flying flip.

They are monsters.

They created these victims, then they deny these children justice--while the Pope gallivants
around the world--saying that he loves the little children and how awful the sexual abuse
of children is.

While the Pope was in the United States, my brother in law was involved in a trial against
a priest. Several children came forward to allege that he had sexually abused them.

My brother in law is a physician, and the attorney for the pedophile priest insisted that
my brother in law broke the law by waiting so long to report that he had been molested--because
he is a "mandatory reporter" by law because he is a physician. They used that to paint my
brother in law as irresponsible and a liar.

They also put his wife on the stand and interrogated her. Because my BIL was so ashamed by what
this priest had done, he hadn't told anyone about the abuse. Not even his wife. They used that
information to suggest that BIL was lying, "Well, if he didn't even tell you--his wife--doesn't that
strike you as odd?"

If there is a God, he will bankrupt this perverted, evil institution.
