The Westboro non event did get people riled up. The much more serious and ongoing problem of clergy abuse went unnoticed.
As to off topic, I was on topic but will admit to a bit of segueing. Same as you did above, Tbugs, when you segued to the doctor killed in his church by a "kook". I wouldn't think of admonishing you for that bit of segueing. That was a serious event and I am delighted the jury did not take his defense seriously. Oh dear, I am off topic again. Or am I segueing the segue?....

I agree. The comparison is valid. Much to pause and think about, regarding the atrocities we look the other way on, and those about which we'll stand and speak out against loudly and publicly.
At least the Westboro kooks don't cover up their assault on wounded innocents. That's more than can be said for the brotherhood that piles lie upon lie upon more lies to cover up for the vile priests who prey on and rape innocents.
Jesus spoke clearly about the "father of lies":
44 You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies. --John 8:44 New American Bible
