    I was more questioning the statement “The Church hid paedophiles = the Catholic/Anglican Church hid paedophiles.”

    Why would it imply that specific church (or Church if you prefer) rather than any other, when it seems to apply to all Churches?

        To be fair, the Catholic Church would be my go to if someone were to mention pedophiles in the context of religion.

        There doesn’t seem to be a great way to designate “the church” in a way that encompasses all/any branches of religion.
