All religions deserve respect. I don't think one religion is intrinsically weirder than the other. There is something just unfathomable about the religious nature of human beings. Period. I think the religion described above deserves respect in a pluralistic society, even from those who might be uncomfortable with it. But a side-benefit of analyzing closely the lack of respect this one receives is that it allows us to see other the problems of other faiths in a clearer light . Imagine if the faith described above was to react to the problems others have with it by simply delving into one of its rituals as a direct answer for such a matter. Instead, in a more reasonable fashion, its representatives have to address the issues directly. And I have seen them do this on TV. I mean this as absolutely no endorsement of this religion, to which I have no connection whatsoever, when I say that they do a pretty good job of it . If one is speaking from the strictly PR viewpoint.

The remarkable thing is that this faith, which as a matter of principle one must say in a pluralistic society is not receiving fair treatment, shows the oddness of the PR ramifications of another faith. The Roman Catholic Church is responding to its mammoth scandal by doing precisely what this other faith would likely be excoriated for doing. If its PR response were just to delve into its own rituals, how would that look? Again, I emphasize as strongly as I can that one does not have to any way endorse this faith to recognize that in fact they have been more attendant to the demands of living in a common society. Especially when one reads with amazement that the following is the answer to the mammoth scandal in the Roman Church.:

" The Vatican is hosting two hours of eucharistic adoration “in reparation for abuses committed by priests and for the healing of this wound within the church.”

Imagine that you interchanged "Auditing" for "Eucharistic Adoration" and you get a sense of how strange the actions of the Roman church are. This is meant as absolutely no disrespect to the religious practices of "Auditing" or "Eucharistic Adoration" which in a thematic sense could not be further apart. But from the stance of principled tolerance in a pluralistic society they are no different. But the de facto difference in our society is that those who practice "Auditing" are criticized at a level seemingly unrelated to its real societally verifiable actions. And again I can say this sheerly from a principled stance, not from any personal feeling of endorsement for it, of which I do not have one drop. But fair pluralism is the basis of our shared society. By the standards of this shared society it is truly strange to find the practitioners of "Eucharistic Adoration", some of whose representatives have committed very serious breaches of the public trust and to see that the tenor of their answer is to take refuge in their rituals. For a faith that is so interested in a type of law that can bridge the disparity of all faiths, the Catholic Church's response looks remarkably poorer than others, even others who are not treated very well.
