I'm sorry if I was unclear. That kind of argument is precisely the kind that I would reject, in either the Duggars' case or the ISIS case. I don't think that Christianity, in an absolute sense, justifies anything of the sort.

But I do think that Christianity as practiced by the Duggars is used towards that purpose - if not to positively justify those things, at least to minimize their impact and shield from justice those who commit them. And you can see that by looking at what the Duggars say - the way in which their Christian beliefs inform their behavior in terms of avoiding the attention of law enforcement for fear of getting CPS involved, and the way that their perspective on sexuality informs the way they talk about victims and perpetrators and how wrong something like molestation is.

In a similar way, I don't think anything about Catholicism justifies sexual abuse - but I do think the culture and beliefs of Catholicism were (unfortunately) put to use to shield from justice those who were guilty of abuse. That's what I'm trying to say.
