The way these posters are posting about Kobe perhaps he should be made a Saint.
Still can’t get an answer as to whether the whole repent process applies to Diddling Priests.
Priest who diddle little kids are probably reprobates who are still enamored about what they did. They are incapable of seeking repentance because of their pride. Those who do would be led to confess publicly and accept their temporal fate.
The power hiding the perverted events are in the same boat as well as any "Protestant" preachers (Plenty of non-Roman Catholic kiddy-diddler preachers as well)and congregation covering for him or her.
Well, this ‘saint’ pronouncement is big business, and where there is money there is attention. Course now ‘sola scripture’ says that God already chose the saints before the foundation of this world ....... but, man has his traditions ... wonder if a trip to purgatory is in order, or right to St. Peter is the case here.
I have yet to read one single person claim they were there when the ‘acts’ took place... But there sure is a phone book full of judgments made in ignorance. Course I also do not understand why an apology was sufficient for a criminal case to not take place .... $$$$$ at risk if there was a trial.
