Debbie, I am not in denial. Lock 'em up and throw the keys away for all I care if you think you have enough jails to house them all. You can do the same thing next year and the year after that.
I am not religious and the Church does not need protection because the truth will stand on its own. I once wrote that the best thing for America was the gather all of the bibles from North the South and burn them in a windrow from East to West. The solution to the problem is not just in punishment and protection but in adressing the origen of the cause. I clearly stated that our sexual preference is not learned behavior and this is clear from the 50 year gay hunt that only proliferated the 'problem' until it now has become an alternate life style. |

I have known a lot of Catholics in my life. As a matter of fact, I married one. She isn't one now but that was entirely her decision. My closest friend is a Catholic. At least he thinks he is. I know more about Catholicism than he does. My point however is that you are the strangest example of a Catholic that I have ever run across. Not to long ago you would have been burned at the stake for heresy. You must be just funning us. You can't be real. The Admiral |

The church's recent solution (after being pressured) made decisions to move the perpetrators away from children. They still are protecting them instead of turning it over to the police and letting the law and justice take care of the problem. What message do you think that gives to the victims? Haven't the victims had enough shame and blame without the church adding to it? Why isn't the church out fighting for those children? My opinion is because the church is a predator not a protector of its flock. Quote:
Next getting people like you out of denial and quit blaming the victims which you clearly did early on. Seems you are trying to change your story now. So are you proposing that pedophiles have the children and live an alternative life style? Or are you just making a slam against homosexuals? |

I ah, umm, hate to bring up something so ignorant, but, I wonder if it would help any if the Catholic church did not mandate that its priests live an unnatural and impossible life.

Hey Amos! I think they should lock you up and throw away the keys. Just joking my friend.
I agree with Debbie and the others who consider your views on child-rape to be outside of reality. Children are supposed to be protected from sex and sexual situations by their families and also by tax exempt Medieval costume organizations like the catholic church. We do live in a society which is full of sex in the media and advertising, yet that does not lessen the responsiblity of concerned adults to protect children. I utterly disagree with you that a child should be held at all responsible for dealing with an unwanted sexual situation, initiated by a priest, of all people. That is ridiculous to the extreme. You pushed aside my argument that a child would fear a priest because he can send you to hell with a characteristic jab at the hated Prods. You just won't see the other-worldly powers a child raping priest can bring to bear on the credulous child. Amos, could you just for a second, consider that a snake-like child raping priest, would say that a child will go to hell if he tells his parents about their little encounter? Can you see that the hell threat could be used to aid in seduction and conquest of children? Don't you BS me, Amos, you catholics believe in hell just as much as the Prods do. Think about it. |

A married priest would be just another bloke with an old lady and a bunch of brats. The mystery would be gone. As evidenced by the actions of Bernie with aiding his child-raping buddy priests, the mystery and illusion is far more important than any issues about pervert priests. It is better to have some perverts than to loose the power of superstitious credulity. The Middle Ages will not go quietly. |

So what do you think of parents who allow their children to have sleep-overs by a priest? You would have to nuts, don't you think? Were they maybe pimping their children? How about those 16 year olds? Were they afraid of hell and why did they go back for seconds? |
