I don't go out of my way to 'find fault' with the Catholic Church.

It happens that the subject comes up - and in this case, it was specifically the Catholic Bishop's Conference that started arguing the subject we're discussing so *naturally* the Catholic Church would factor into the discussion here.

I certainly admit that I have a hard time being neutral when it concerns the Church - though I try. It took me a while to compartmentalize the priests and others in the Church that I'd known all my life with the criminals in the heirarchy. I'm fortunate in that none of the activities I participated in while growing up (altar boy, CYO, etc) put me on the receiving end of any abuse by any priest.
