Ironic?

Assertions are not evidence. That poster asserted that the priest lied without evidence.

We have testimony from a Catholic priest that sexual exploitation of minors occurred. God-fearing people loudly condemn such activity, and do not defend it or harbor people who practice it.

I find it concerning that you have more objections to whom shone the light than whom was cowering in the darkness with their victims, forgetting they claimed to serve an omniscient and omnipresent God who exposes all sin.

In all fairness, it’s the obligation of the claimant to present proof to support his accusation, not of his dectractors to prove the negative of his claim. Father Amorth, who has a recent history of somewhat incredible claims, has made a claim for which he has presented no corroborating proof.

Libertarians are scum.

The Libertarian party platform endorses sexual perversion:

“Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships.”

The Libertarian Party platform endorses abortion:

“Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.”

So do you condemn Libertarians the same way that you try to smear the church with the rantings from a blog?

Sounds to me it was mob related activity. Why do you focus strictly on the sexual aspect of it when it may also involve kidnapping and murder?
