And where are these attempts at excusing criminal behavior? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #1

I did not say anything was excusable or that there was any attempt at excusing behavior marylandblue Sep 2018 #2

No, it is implicitly excusing by claiming that everyone does it. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #4

No there are other things that make the RCC stand out marylandblue Sep 2018 #24

What you are doing is pointing out that abuse and coverup has happened elsewhere, trotsky Sep 2018 #32

What you did was demonstrate that you misunderstood what I wrote, and have written. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #41

Bullshit. trotsky Sep 2018 #45
