For centuries that church became a law upon itself. It conspired
with the petty rulers after the fall of the Western Empire. It
told the people obey, and in return they were immune from local
laws. It got to the point they had their armies and waged wars.
Catholic priests don't like the peons reading the bible. Jesus has
harsh criticism for people who harm children including driving
them away from the bible; another passage warns people to settle
with their secular (and by implication spiritual) accusers quickly
and make amends lest the court turn you over to executioners.

It's as if they wanted to side-step the Magna Carta!

That's one good reason for why no Church deserves
to have any power over any aspect of any legal
system nor the drafting of any of its legislation.

If the Catholic Church genuinely cared about morals and justice,
then they would be cooperating with policing authorities instead
of trying to cover up their sexual abuse epidemic scandals. If
they did that, even I would have more respect for them as an
organization, incidental to them being a religious institution.
If they had turned over the offenders to law enforcement, it'd be a
whole different ball game. But that would've uncovered a particular
side of their religion that they don't want to face. Catholicism is a
farce, they are *NOT* the original/true church.
...and that's why it will likely never happen (save a few who
they want to get rid of anyway for reasons unrelated to child
sexual abuse that aren't sufficient to justify firing).
I'm glad they've been losing membership, but I feel that they
haven't lost nearly enough. They should be shut down, and all
the money, art, gold, etc., that they're hoarding should go to
helping people get out of poverty (at the very least), funding
abortions, funding secular education (with critical thinking
skills being in the curriculum), and funding victims of crimes
such as sexual abuse and domestic violence, plus so much more.

So what should be done to the public school system, which is
collectively guilty of sexual abuse of minors at a HIGHER rate than
the Catholic Church, to say nothing of the faggotry and trannyism

Catholics' Church Attendance Resumes Downward Slide
APRIL 9, 2018
From 2014 to 2017, an average of 39% of Catholics
reported attending church in the past seven days.
This is down from an average of 45% from 2005 to
2008 and represents a steep decline from 75% in
1955.

Where are you getting your statistics from? Is
it Dr. Jordan Peterson, or Pierre Poilievre, or
some other religious right-wing-nut hatemonger?
Public school staff are accountable to the law,
and for the instances where a staff member was
sexually abusing a student or another employee
they were investigated by the police and charged
accordingly. As far as I'm aware, the number of
cases of sexual abuse by public school staff in
Canada is minimal compared to the number of
cases of sexual abuse by Catholic Clergy, but if
you have statistics to the contrary, please feel
free to share them -- the problem for the Church
is that they're infamous for sexually abusing
children, and then trying to cover it up, which
is contrasted by public school transparency and
not trying to cover it up (since public agencies
openly cooperate with the justice system).
