Those are usually not Catholics but Protestant / Evangelical pastors and reverends.
More like the Roman Catholic Church has the money and PR machine to cover up their misdeeds better. To suggest Catholics aren't as bad as other Christian sects when it comes to sexual assault is laughable.
I did not suggest that they are not as bad. Just that the Pope does not have any say over them.

I don't see how that's related to my point that the Pope does not have sway over Protestants.
What do Protestants have to do with this thread? It’s story about the Pope. No one else is talking about Protestants.
I called out the wackado priests (like the one in TX that was calling for the Pope to be killed). You then tried to correct me saying “no, that’s Protestants” because you don’t know anything about it. So I tried to educate by posting some links to articles about the political make up of the priesthood (supporting my original point that you thought you were correcting). And now you’re confused because literally no one is trying to discuss Protestants but you?
Evangelicals already run the country, but we’re still allowed to discuss other faiths. 🤣
Maybe some people recognize empty cans and know not to bother sending any energy on it.
