Yep, Anglican version of the boy scouts. I agree that the vast majority of people on the ground in religious bodies are well meaning. I would note though, that both Catholic and Anglican (and others) hierarchies have at times (not always) prioritised the reputation of the institution at the expense of the victims of their 'employees'. My mother-in-law was, until very recently, an Anglican minister and has doing research on that church's response to abuse issues (at the local diocese level). Let's just say there is considerable variation in the reasonableness of responses to allegations, and in the methods institutions will go to to ring-fence assets to avoid compo claims.

Absolutely I have no doubt that has been the case. I'd be in denial to say otherwise. I wouldn't do that.
I just take offence to Gronk continually tarring all Catholics with the same brush. He is almost at Folau levels with his bias. Truly, I don't see the difference between the two of them. They are both extremely offensive.

Gronk has his opinions. And many I agree with. But not everything is black and white. And this is the problem with opinions.

The other issue with opinions is. What paths in your life have you taken or what things have you been shown or taught to form this opinion. It has come from somewhere and in a different situation your opinion will vary and change. Take away media, parents and friends and maybe you will form your very own. But reality is we are just parrots copying a thought that has been seeded in our brain.

Opinions mean nothing just like a parrot repeating some random bullshit. To be offended by them is ridiculous.
