I really don't think going off topic is too big a sin unless the purpose is to ridicule another person's view instead of adding to the discussion. Going off on a tangent, if not too drawn out, sometimes adds to a conversation and not always in a bad way.
I'm not sure that this tangent of clergy child abuse adds much insight into a conversation about this wicked church that hates homosexuals with such evil fervor, but at least it was polite.
