>Well, on average there isn't more child molestation in the church than in the general public, so I don't really care.
>Every institution working with children attracts pedos, religious or not.
Oh, ffs! Every institution can nurture a culture of silence. But the church is odd man out because of:

A) It's a lower abdomen religion.

B) The local congregations often serves the same functions as the welfare state does "up north". The advantage is that it can run much smoother, because knowledge is tacit and sticky. The disadvantage is that a culture of silence can be purged by central diktats.

C) The church in general is most meddling regarding policy making. If it can make some semi-litterates in some 3rd world country believe that there's no opt-out from church teachings, then good. If they can practically run a country, such as El Salvador, then good.

>Did they act the right way? Nope, but that's just liek any other business trying to minimize the fallout.
Bullshit! In 1990, some retard in the US perpetrated the Volvo monster truck hoax. A central diktat from Volvo HQ purged the retard.

>Ever heard about Dutroux and the belgien/ european goverment?
Apples and oranges. The Dutroux case was because of the shitty belgian police organization.

>Consider such cases when bashing on a church, which gets mouled in the press
It's not like we've harping about *that* case from 1997. There's constantly new cases.

>while nearly 20 people got killed in the Dutroux case before they could speak out.
He killed "only" 5. Not *nearly* 20.
