            In the context of this post, I find it offensive to not be vehemently disgusted by an organization that supported and enabled child molestation on a global scale. I find it offensive that instead of there being systemic action against the catholic church, they are being allowed to 'self-regulate' on the issue. I hope that no person that happens to be catholic finds 'fuck the catholic church' more offensive than a massive systemic cover-up of truly brutal child rape. If they still are offended, I hope they reconsider their priorities.

            And if you do want to get more information on non-theistic satanism, I recommend reading the 7 tenets on The Satanic Temple's website. The site also has more links to more in-depth information.

            In general I would agree. In the context of this article I’d say it’s somewhat appropriate — the church itself does not include everyone associated with Catholicism.

                People very often refer specifically to the institution and leadership of Roman Catholicism as "The Church", and I'm quite certain that was the intended meaning of the OP.

                I guess we disagree on the semantics of that statement because I don’t see those as equivalent at all.
