You have been in England too long. There is a huge cost to go to court over something like this, and clearing off 500 cases in one plea agreement sounds like an economical decision to me.
While there is no question that there has been abuse, that does not mean that all 500 would be found in favor of the Plaintiff.

I did say "The Church" to mean the Catholic church as at that point in the thread that was what was being discussed and The Church (with a big C) is often referred to in such a manner as if almost a political body..well more than almost.

I only quoted this comment because you seemed to think it odd that an organization of that size would have significant assets. If I misunderstood, I apologize.

And as far as denominations ...I assume when you were training to be a teacher you had to take some history lessons and study religion in some way and at least the bits that majorly effected history like The Reformation. So, therefore you would know that denominations do exist and the basics of what they believe. You don't have to believe what those people believe but it doesn't stop it being true that a religion has branches, etc.

I wasn't disputing denominations with you, I was commenting on your calling the Holy Trinity the Holy Trilogy.
