I already had a dim view of the Catholic Church, largely due to the "Magdalene Asylums" that kept young women against their will and forced them to work in laundries as slave labor, often for many many years or even the duration of their life, all for the "crimes" of having premarital sex, or even the suspicion of it, or for no reason at all. And have they had to answer for it? Or apologize for it? Or give reparations for it? NO. And this was going on into the 1990's.
If the same can be said of other groups, then let it be said. If it's true, then outrage is warranted there too.
I have nothing good to say about a primitive, chauvanistic organization like the CC. They don't value women, and their actions continue to show it. If the CC doesn't want to be seen in that light, then they should reverse the decision. Until they do, I see no reason to excuse them. They don't give a fuck what happens to a raped 9 year old, and they're all going to stick together and support this kind of nonsense.
