The Vatican and its laws are every bit as bad as the Talibans! Would we have double standards?
Today, everybody agrees to condemn the Talibans and yet they support the Vatican without realizing that both of them run a theocratic and dictatorial regime!

The Catholic Church today is mired in scandal, including shady financial dealings, pedophilia, and nuns who have been raped or have had abortions.
