::As the last sentence of this paragraph says, it is a societal issue and not one connected with religion in general, or Catholicism in particular. The existence of such a section in an article on the theology of Catholicism is discordant and irrelevant, and it should be removed. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 06:15, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

:::I think removal of the section entirely would be innapropriate and it would make us look like we are trying to hide the facts. You are right, the priests probably didn't molest the boys ''because'' they were Catholic, as ''no'' religion teaches that molesting young children is ok. However, popular coverage and public knowledge came about because of the abuse in the Catholic church, not because of general societal abuse.

I agree with Learn Together, plus there were controversies throughout its' existence. While a controversy section may be required, it does not have to dwell on just one bad instance.--'''<font color="#6698FF">J</font><font color="#E41B17">p</font><font color="#F88017">a</font><font color="#347C17">t</font><font color="#A74AC7">t</font>'''<sup>[[User:Jpatt| ]]</sup> 13:53, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
