Comedian Trevor Noah smeared the Catholic Church on “The Daily Show” Wednesday and said it should be called a “molesting club with an opening prayer.”

Noah was discussing the story of more than 300 Catholic priests being accused of child abuse in Pennsylvania when he attacked the entire faith. (RELATED: Trevor Noah Says ‘All Hope Is Dead’ After Justice Kennedy’s Retirement)

“Now there is some other big news today that we have to talk about. A Pennsylvania grand jury has reported that the Catholic Church there protected more than 300 priests who were accused of abusing children over seven decades,” Noah said.

“Just in Pennsylvania, like we’re not even counting the rest of America and Europe and Africa. And I’m sorry guys, at some point I feel like we need to stop calling it a church and start calling it what it is. A molesting club with an opening prayer, because that’s what it feels like,” Noah continued.

He then mocked the sacrament of confession and said priests will have a revolving door of confessions between each other.

“This is becoming so wide-spread, at this point confession is just going to be a two-way confession between priests. ‘Forgive me, father, for have I sinned, forgive me father, for I have sinned.’ This shit never ends,” Noah concluded.
