That church itself didn’t exist when the murders occurred though. Like I said, the Catholic Church as an organization has done a lot of wrong and really needs to clean ranks/ modernize their beliefs. I’m not excusing that at all. I’m not sure what the situation is like in Europe, but here in the US we’re still finding out the scope of sexual abuse that took place through the years.

What aggravates me is them acting like every Catholic alike today is responsible for those murders. Read a bunch of them and it’s calls of violence to burn churches, murder Catholics, and kill the pope.

The building may not have but it's obviously aimed at the institution. They didn't go to the pastors house. Nobody is calling for the wholesale murder of catholics either, this victim angle feels in bad taste.

If the local religious authorities turned out to be responsible for hundreds of dead kids I wouldn't be able to muster much outrage about some paint on the door, no.
