Guilt is one of the cornerstones of the Catholic faith - fear is another.
Both have been used to ensure little or no debate or questioning of the doctrines of the faith takes place - it is a nasty concept to keep believers under control by playing to their fears and insecurities - feelings largely unknown to priests and any eschelons of the church up to and including the Pope.

Every Christian life strengthens the belief of the community. Muslims increase their community likewise, with big families. Jewsh population has increased since the holocaust even though their faith has laboured since christ. Its the cross or no faith athiests who void life as 'no value'.

The Catholic church chooses not to learn from mistakes if it can cover up and get away with it.
Any hurt, estrangement and discord in my family has its roots in the church.
There are many things I would love to be able to change about my upbringing. Had the Catholic church not existed or even had less control over my family I would want to change little, if anything.

What evidence have you that Christians intrinsically value life any better than atheists??
From what I have read, death is the central to all the Abrahamic faiths. Indeed it is held in the highest esteem as the doorway to ultimate glory.
