… Yeah, listen, Paulmbo #6 sat by preaching about morality while blithely presiding over the foundation of a pedophilia ring so massive it made epstien look like a weekend hobbyist. Not only that, by publishing Humanitae Vitae he’s directly responsible for causing the rise of catholic anti intellectualism and the decline of the church into the joke of an institution it is today. He’s a reaaaaaally bad choice for a source.

ad hominem
and this presides over the moral atrocities of the Sexual Revolution

and “pedophilia ring”? the relocation of priests happened on the diocesan level and not the vatican level
the entirety of the US Bishops and president and vice prident of the USCCB were summoned to Rome for this

Correct! Well done! You get a cookie! However, addressing the applicability and/or bias of a source (as I have done here) is not in itself fallacious, even if it involves addressing their character or actions.
Ex: Donald Trump says pedophilia isn’t bad. Pointing out that he’s a poor authority on the morality of pedophilia because he himself is a pedophile and rapist is not an ad-homenim either, because it’s not a dismissal of his argument, it’s a dismissal of the value of his argument based on the present biases. It’s a subtle but important distinction.
The holy see is internationally recognized as a sovereign entity - I must have missed how that means it’s only in charge for the good bits, and isn’t in responsible for the bad ones.
I apologize, but I am not watching a youtube vid for this.
Yeah I confess I think the beatles kinda sucked, too.

please try watching the video
and the church definitely isnt a “pedophile ring”

No
Even the church itself investigated thousands of reported cases of pedophilia, and there have been hundreds of priests arrested in conjunction with it, including quite a few bishops who have been found to been complicit in both the rapes and the coverups. How on earth does that not meet the criteria to be a pedophile ring?
