    Catholic church is. Catholic church is false religion. Baby baptism is nonsense and should be abolished

    Neither. Pedophilia is actually less in the Catholic Church than outside of it. The general public does not seem to know this. But, more kids are abused in schools, and a LOT more at home. Kids are actually safer in church with a priest - believe it, or not.

    none of the above

    Neither.

    pedophiles have always existed in reality, even if they were not called that until modern times. And their actions have always been abhorred.

    The church does not condone such behaviour, but it does try to find ways to rehabilitate the offenders within its own system of laws. That's not protecting them.

    And think of it: society in general tries to rehabilitate criminals, but its success rate is even less than that of the church and priests as pedophiles.

    Both.

    Their celibacy policy is problematic.
