When the leadership of an organized religion take steps to protect their interests over the interests of those they’ve harmed, it’s the organization to blame, not the parishioners.
My point was that by behaving the way they did, they undermine the beliefs and goals of the religion to the point that they obviously do not believe the religion they represent.
While Catholics may be “good” or “bad”, the church is a scam. That is obvious by the actions of the church. Catholics could change that or pretend it’s not true and carry on.
It’s almost like people who are trapped in an abusive relationship. It’s actually much worse.
