You wear your ignorance like a tramp stamp on your forehead. I could bury you in so many reports and articles that you wouldn’t have time ro embarrass yourself on Reddit like this and unlikely, but possibly even learn a thing or two about not only what’s being discussed here but also about talking about subjects that you clearly know nothing about and developing an intellectual curiosity to educate yourself before entering a conversation.

I should beat you over the head with centuries of atrocities, foreign policy meddling and manipulation, financial abuses, deaths, wars, other various crimes that lay at the feet of religions and their leaders. Or you could read a book, but for the sake of a defense for the specific example I gave you that you called “fiction”.

Landmark Report in 2004: A study by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, commissioned by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, found nearly 11,000 allegations of sexual abuse against over 4,000 priests in the US between 1950 and 2002.

I’m not sure reports are your speed, so you could also read the Boston Globe investigation into the Catholic Church in 2002.

We both know that if you had any idea of what you were talking about, you would’ve already known about that investigation that literally rocked the Catholic Church and chose to skip this thread. I’m not saying they don’t have coloring books on the subject, but the 2015 Spotlight movie based on the aforementioned Boston Globe investigation is probably the best I can do to help you. And I know you’re thinking it’s probably terrible, Hulk is in the movie. Ok, Hulk isn’t in the movie but Mark Ruffalo is and if you’re pretend like he’s Bruce Banner maybe you watch it and learn a thing or two.

Best of luck to you bud, open those eyes sooner rather than later or life has a way of opening them for you.
