It just seems to me, that it is extremely hypocritical to condemn people like Michael Jackson for actions outside of his professional life (which I personally think is totally appropriate)...while making excuses/giving a pass to religious institutions in the exact same circumstances.

I doubt if few Catholics are not very troubled by the abuse by priests and the cover-ups made by the people who should be monitoring their behavior especially if they get word that kids are being sexually abused by priests.
But these same priests could have also done good works in their communities. Life is not simple.
This is still a good song by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney no matter what crimes Michael Jackson has been accused of.
