It is estimated that the Catholic Church scandal last year cost the church Half a billion dollars (Thats equivalent to 490 billions $ defence budget of america). Where did the church get the money to make these payments? Whatever the church may say the money probably came from contributions individuals made to support their church.

Problems with pedophile priests go back at least two decades in the U.S. Catholic Church. This phenomenon in not limitd ot the Us only and widespread implications even with churches in Malaysia.

With all due respect viewsonic, I appreciate what you are communicating about the goodness of Islam. I only hope that in the process you will not go about disrespecting other religions and put them down. As a Muslim myself I do not believe that by airing the laundry of other religions you will make Islam look better in any way or bring greater credibility to yourself and the message you are trying to convey.

this doesnt seem to be my personal opinion. But these are issues that are plaging the World and need to dealt with firmly. The Sexual abuse cases can not be sidelined as this affects us all. And we should be prepared ti deal with it and inform others of hypocrites hiding in the church who are not only demonizing christianity but also religion.

What i would like to see people condem such perverted activities and be more aware as this can happen to any one.

No offence is intended to anyone.

Great point PrettyPenny

i agree with prettypenny

PP is right on this one, however any child abuse, where ever it is should be highlighted, it's unaccpetable in any case or by anyone.
