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 a (edit:) fallacious 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. Even though this is an ad hominem, it’s not a fallacy because of the magnitude of the bias. It’s a very 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.
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 have 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
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. Let alone any sort of repeated program of this.
Also, you know, all the evidence of them knowing about it but covering it up until after they got caught means even if it’s true, it’s not exactly an example of them not being utterly complicit in all ways with the whole rampant pedophilia thing…
What you said was “[…] and leading the police to arrest pedophiles” which is what I’m talking about now. I previously claimed that they did thousands of internal investigations, that’s not in question. An internal investigation is not a criminal investigation. None of those links seem to be evidence they’ve ever been the instigating factor behind a criminal investigation.
The claim you made is that the church lead the police to arrest pedophiles - which, honestly, that would be nice if it were true. But as far as I’m aware, it’s just wishful thinking that the church has ever done that.

No.

look into the link I sent you
For what? What’s in there I should be looking for? If you know there’s something relevant in there, could you please tell me the title?
