  ad hominem

  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 relocation of priests happened on the diocesan level and not the vatican level

  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.

      No

      and the church definitely isnt a “pedophile ring”

      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?

        :(

        the church investigating and leading the police to arrest pedophiles in its ranks is proof that it is NOT a pedophile ring
