God is not mocked. The Roman Catholic church is reaping what it has sown. There is no justification or defense for men who prey on children or for the organization that shields those monsters! We need to hold the RC church responsible for the crimes of its clergy - from the Pope down - from Rome to Harrisburg. Hanging is too good for these perverted criminals.
The Roman Catholic church is fabulously wealth in art and treasure. I'm surprised that lawyers and prosecutors stop at the dioceses border when pursuing justice. Lawyers and prosecutors need to extract justice from the Pope down, not just the dioceses. All those involved in these crime through omission or commission need to be held accountable for all the pain and suffering caused to young children through many generations.
A fish rots from the head down! It's time to throw the rotten fish in the trash.
That's called "the law". If you were being sued, would you be okay with the law going after your parents, your children, your children's friends, your employer, your teachers, and everyone else who had any association with you? Of course not.
Why anyone would remain in a pervert infested church
Every church out there is full of sinners, and is run by sinners. Evangelicals usually claim "all sins are equally bad," but that idea gets tossed out the window when they can spit at the Catholic church, doesn't it.
I'm a Catholic and will remain a Catholic for one reason only: it's the church founded directly by Jesus Christ on the rock of blessed Peter. I trust in Him.
