You wrote:

“Crimen Solliciationis is filled with admonishments of secrecy under threat of excommunication.”

No, it is not filled with them.

“Anyone reading the material can see that.”

I see what is actually there. It is not filled with them.

“Ratzinger’s letter of 2001 reiterated the secrecy outlined in CS and further stipulated that this secrecy was to be maintained by all parties involved for 10 years beyond the victim’s 18th birthday.”

Post the text. Also, remember, I posted THE TEXT OF THE 2001 LETTER HERE AT FR. So, since we’ve both seen it it should be easy for you to point out evidence from it that would bolster your claim. Please do so.

“That’s what your future pope wrote. That’s why he was accused of obstruction of justice and that’s why he had to appeal for diplomatic immunity so as not to be prosecuted.”

Nope. He always had immunity. He’s the head of state. He had immunity no matter what.

“You have a problem in your church and it’s not going to go away as long as you blame everyone else for that problem.”

I’ve never blamed anyone else for the Church’s problem. If I blame a person (not the Church) for her own problem (the person’s problem) it is because it is her (the person’s) problem.

Now, just FINALLY post evidence for what you’ve been claiming.

Here is the claim:

“Part of the problem is that according to the Vatican’s Crimen Sollicitationis the victim and his family are sworn to secrecy from the time of the abuse until 10 years after the victim reaches the age of 18 upon threat of excommunication.”

Prove it. Post the text that says exactly that from Crime Sollicitationis.

I have posted the excerpts you ask for countless times. You've apparently read them and commented on them. Go back and read them.

Then ask me again for the excerpts. Then go back and read them.

Then ask me again for the excerpts. Then go back and read them.

Then ask me again for the excerpts. Then go back and read them.

Repeat as necessary.
