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.

please try watching the video
and the church definitely isnt a “pedophile ring”
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 days ago
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?

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

You got any proof of that happening? I know of a couple investigations where the church cooperated but I have seen not one example of them ever being the instigating factor behind a criminal proceeding. Not one.
