Catholic Church has More than PR Issue

CBS Bob Schieffer - On this Easter Sunday, the Catholic Church faces more scandal surrounding child sex-abuse. The Church's problem is not public relations, but it's cover-up.

"People will seek god in many ways, but never in ways that endanger their children."

Never say never, there Bob. There are numerous examples of parents killing their children, either by direct action or inaction, in the name of god/religion.

1) Aug 2008: the Neumann family, the Christian Scientists in Madison, WI who allowed their daughter to die of diabetes rather than take her to a hospital, which is something their religious beliefs forbid.

2) April 2009: Marie Moore shot her son, Mitchell, in the back of the head at a Castleberry, FL gun range before shooting herself. In a suicide note left for her boyfriend, whom she calls "King," Marie Moore refers to herself as a "failed queen," writing, "I had to send my son to heaven and myself to hell."

There's even video of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vPnMbLr5nc

3) Muslim honor killings; too numerous to list here.

In conclusion (gee, I feel like I'm in Comp class again), religion makes people do wacky, unimaginable things, up to and including filicide.
