Really?
His argument breaks down completely in at least three ways:
- The Catholic clergy who committed abuses are not the victims here; they created victims!
- The Jews are victims of anti-Semitism: they didn't do anything to receive the scorn they receive(d) from anti-Semites and the outright hatred that led to the holocaust.
- The "collective violence" that this misguided preacher suggests is coming at the church is actually "collective violence" that was directed at innocent children who trusted the representatives of that very church.
The pope and the Catholic Church's not-so "gentlemen" need to own what happened and what they did (and what might still be happening), fix it by firing all the douchebags, do away with the out-dated joke of celibacy* by allowing married priests, and just shut up about anything else having to do with this issue.
They have no defense other than to admit their wrong doing and own it.
* Celibacy has never worked and continuing to try to make it work and expecting it to work is just insane, by definition.
