    No. I wouldn't. I don't think they did a particularly good job at any of the things I listed. Pretty bad, really. The most I'll say for them is that it's more the state's fault for having left them the job in the first place.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    Ask the women who were released from the Magdalene Launderies if they think we are ungrateful.
    We can of course point at the abuses carried out by a minority! (OBVIOUS)

    I think most reasonable people would not condem all for the actions of a few!

    Its easy to kick the church because unlike Islam they won't call a jihad on your ass.

    It did an awful lot of good, but ultimately it is an organisation that promotes belief in god which is just nuts!

    Someone spotted the money making opportunity hundreds of years ago and that is where it went wrong.

    Most reasonable people follow their faith without pomp and circumstance- the priests have put themselves on a throne built on people blindly following whatever they proclaim. I don't buy it, im afraid.

    Its true, its just a simple bias or sterotyping and even though you wouldnt mean it you would still give in if it confirms your previous suspicions

    Wrong again.
    I would say the majority of people do engage in the pomp and circumstance whether regulary of on occassion (wedding, funerals baptisim etc).

    When you say "The priests" as if they were a singular being is language used by many persecutors (The Jews, The Blacks, The Gypsies etc).

    They gave education when there was no alternative for people and you can not thank them!
    They provided hospitals when there were none and you can not thank them!

    Thanks for proving my point!
