How about stripping any priest who molests a child of his status and excommunicating him? That would certainly make the Church’s displeasure known to the rest of us.

And who's going to do that? The child molesters up the chain of command? That's like asking a mafia Don to get rid of the criminals in his organization.

I guess that is the point.

IF the RC Church really has an issue with homosexuality and pedophilia (but I repeat myself), rather than the embarrassment it causes them, then why haven’t they come down on the miscreants with the full force of Church Authority?
