While I don’t condemn it in every single post, I doubt you do either—you asked me to condemn but you didn’t;t condemn it yourself. Perhaps you need to include it in your tag line.

I have, at times on certain posts, recalled something I was taught in a Catholic seminary by a priest, namely the recommendation that millstones and the depths of the ocean were too mild a penalty for those who cause little ones to stumble might aptly be applied to incidents of this sort.

I don’t expect you to do it in every single post but your post 4 was nothing more than the usual, *It’s worse other places* type of dodging the issue post.

And I have stated on a thread recently that any involved in the abuse or cover up should publicly confess what they did, turn themselves over to the proper authorities to pay for their crime, and defrock themselves or be defrocked.

It would show genuine repentance to man up and admit what they did was wrong and take the consequences.

And besides, I have condemned it and for that I’ve been slapped with the label of *hater*.

I’m a *Catholic hater* cause I condemn the sexual abuse of minors by priests?

Shows a lot about Catholic mentality.
