Let him "hate" all he wants. (to use your interpretation of "being alarmed" about something)
many of his points he is not alone on, this side of the ocean.
i mean.... do you have anything to say other than kick the man in the nuts?

... or attempt to.

That's ridiculous. Am I somehow preventing him from spreading his hate?

On a note that we can all agree on, a Royal Commission, looking into child abuse, is beginning in Australia. And from the sounds of things, if the Church suddenly objects, the investigators will just carry on.

very good.
the Church should be downgraded to the level of amateur socker or cricket or baseball or basketball teams when it comes to privileges and extra rights.

Anyone objecting investigations shall be treated as a potential suspect and abuser.

now that would be fun to watch...
Squeal, pope, squeal!

Personally, I'm not even sure why the Church has to be an international organization. I can understand the need for some, like St. Vincent de Paul's, but do we really need one telling us to worship God? Surely all we need is a local Church building.

we need a good ole brainwashing to keep the robes rich, the little boys shut up and the masses scared to (of) death and hell and destruction.

sometimes i think the masses get the religious institutions they deserve, no more, no less.

but Violation? Of Young Kids?
there, for me everything comes to a screeching halt...

Already been done. It's called Protestantism.

Oh yeah, I forgot about them.

I thought that I was a Protestant for quite some time, then I found out I was Anglican

Maybe in your,... is it a real full fledged country or a Some kind of independent Dutchy that you live in? Anyways that'll be the day when a Luxembourger decides how anyone outside of Luxembourg will treat their religions.

You'll never be "The Mouse That Roared"...

[HundertzehnGustav]

then tell me your point is...? he hates religion and should shut up about it?
is he and or the subject getting on your nerves?
he has a beef with the institution that has put itself between the religious ide and the human "average Joe" masses.

Pointing out manipulation, abuse, evil and so forth coming from the Church (not religion itself as such)
why shall he not open his eyes and share his thoughs on that matter?
