No suggestion at all. Plaintiff’s practice is a business and plaintiff’s lawyers follow the money.

But the point is not that all institutions have problems, churches included. The point is that poster after poster has cited sex abuse as a reason to attack only the Catholic Church, to reject the moral authority of only the Catholic Church, to dissuade the OP from only the Catholic Church, and to propose as options other organizations that have had issues of their own, as if those issues somehow don’t matter but the ones in the Catholic Church do. That is fundamentally illogical and logically fallacious.

A person who wants to disagree with specific Church teachings should do themselves the favor of at least fully understanding what they claim to disagree with. How many posters here who disagree with the Church on “reproductive” issues have read Humanae Vitae or the Declaration on Procured Anortion?  How many who assert that women should be Catholic priests have studied Ordinatio Sacerdotalis?  How many critics of the church have even opened a copy of the Catechism?

The Church is unpopular because its teachings call people to account. The Church is vilified not because it is wrong, but because it is right, and the knowledge that they are not living the best lives they can wounds its critics.[/quote]

Oh! Oh!  Meeee!!!! Meee!!!!
19 years of Catholic education.  Read and tested on Humanae Vitae. (Although I didn't read the declaration on procured abortion)  Lots of tests on various parts of the catechism.  I can even speak intelligently about Ex Corde Ecclesiae and what that does and doesn't mean for faculty in Catholic Universities and at Catholic campus health centers.  And I can understand a more Latin than your average bear.

It's offensive and facile to assume that anyone who disagrees with the Catholic church just doesn't "really understand"[/quote]

The very vast preponderance of people, especially on DCUM, who despise, deride, defame and claim to “disagree” with Church teaching haven’t got the faintest clue what they actually claim to oppose. [/quote]
