And if you point this out to the QWERTY mob, you'll inevitably get back a chorus "But the priests in the Catholic Church..." diversions.

Two organizations that protect and enable gay men to molest children. What's the difference?

In fact I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the gay dudes who run these organizations would have joined the clergy back in a less "open" time. That would have been their path.

Yeah anytime someone tries to pull the "but what about the Catholic church" my answer is always "I'm not a Catholic". Also the Catholic church being full of pedophiles is like universally condemned as a bad thing by everyone including the Catholic Church. What's your argument?

Exactly. Nobody ever said it was a good thing that the Catholic Church had pedo priests and then tried to cover it up.

The people in question know that, but engaging in bad faith arguments and whataboutism is all they can do, because they can’t actually defend their own viewpoints.
