Now in Holland over 400 preists are accused of being pedophiles- does all this not show how evil the Roman Catholic religion is?.

yes but the spiritualy .blind will never see
To say the whole Roman Catholic Church/religion is evil on account of what a few perverted priests do is like condemning all teachers because some of them put out for their students. THINK, people! God gave us brains. USE THEM.
Call me judgmental, but I don't get the idea that you're really concerned about kids who've been molested.
No, I think you're just using and exploiting them to make your anti-Catholic push.
That's why you didn't say anything expressing pity or empathy for the kids. Instead, you went straight into ranting about how "evil" Catholicism is.
Pretty pathetic, no offense.
The Catholic Church supports social justice, a degree of wealth redistribution, and opposes the death penalty. That's why I often agree with them.
Every religion has also people who, for whatever reason, will result to immoral and disrespectful behaviour.
Don't think that because the RC-church is now in the center of attention, other churches, denomenations are without any of these abuses.
I think the writer of this post may refer to the following.

In the early months of 2010 a growing number of reports appeared about sexual
abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands. The responsible authorities
in the Roman Catholic Church were unable to provide answers to many of the
question that were raised. What did the authorities know about the abuse? How
widespread was the abuse? How were complaints from victims and their parents
dealt with? The calls for answers to these questions grew steadily louder.
At the request of the Conference of Bishops and the Dutch Religious Conference

At the request of the Conference of Bishops and the Dutch Religious Conference
(KNR), in May 2010 drs. W.J. (Wim) Deetman drafted a proposal for an independent
inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding sexual abuse of minors who
had been entrusted to the responsibility of institutions and parishes of the Roman
Catholic Church in the Netherlands in the period from 1945 to 2010.
The proposal was unreservedly adopted by the Conference of Bishops and the Dutch
Religious Conference. Deetman accepted the request to head the inquiry and asked
five prominent academics and experts to join him. The members of the Commission
were Mrs dr. P.J. (Nel) Draijer, mr. P. (Pieter) Kalbfleisch, Professor dr. H.L.G.J.
(Harald) Merckelbach, Professor dr. M.E. (Marit) Monteiro and Professor dr. ir. G.H.
(Gerard) de Vries.
The Commission of Inquiry’s investigation had to meet all of the standards for
scientific research. The Commission of Inquiry based its findings on empirical data
from the reports of sexual abuse it received between March and December 2010, as
well as historical records from ecclesiastical and other archives. It reviewed this
information in light of the social, cultural, economic and political developments that
have occurred over the last 65 years in the Netherlands and in the Roman Catholic
Church. For the purposes of the study, a proper understanding of those changes was
required to place the findings regarding the occurrence and explanation of the sexual
abuse in its proper context. This should not, however, be taken to imply that a
description of the socio-cultural and historic context legitimises abuses.
Priority was given to investigating and giving advice on the functioning and the help
provided by Help & Justice, the former name of the agency established by the
Catholic hierarchy as a centre of expertise on sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic
Church. The advice of the Commission of Inquiry has led, among other things, to the
transformation of Help & Justice into an independent Stichting Beheer & Toezicht
Assessment and Advisory Commission on Sexual Abuse in the Roman Catholic
Church, incorporating a special reporting centre for complaints.
Innocent until proven guilty.
