Nope, but must be an amazing religion that teaches you to cover it up.

The report by an independent commission said Catholic officials had failed to tackle the widespread abuse at schools, seminaries and orphanages.

If the people higher up the Pyramid scheme knew about this, and the Pope trusts these people what does this say about the whole religion?

Anyone asked God about this?

Nothing at all unless you are trying to be a sensationalist sheep. The actions of a few do not condemn the rest. You can't use that as an excuse to tar and feather a religion.

How far does said abuse actually go? I know it's all a light-hearted joke about catholic priests (my dad is catholic and jokingly says such things), but to what extent are we talking?

serious question
