That “proves” it’s just ‘human nature’ and in no way means organized religion is in any way responsible.

All the evidence the RCC had significant influence over police and the justice system, influenced parents to keep quiet, moved child rapists to other poorer counties to avoid prosecution, and allowed networks of child raping priests to share victims, well that could have happened anywhere. I mean after all, there’s all sorts of secular organizations that enjoy absolute trust over all of these people, indoctrinated into them from birth, right?
