1. It happened a long time ago.
2. They aren’t pedophiles, they are homosexuals
3. Other people do it, we don’t do it as much
4. It was the psychiatrists fault
5. It was the bishops fault
6. The “victims” are just out for money
7. It’s a great conspiracy against the RCC by the homosexual media
Each of those statements is true in some or many cases. Is that truth worth mentioning?
None of these facts "excuses" child abuse. Are you insinuating that somebody says that Points 1-7 "excuse" child abuse? If so, do the right thing: name names, and stop merely insinuating.
No insinuation here, these excuses were given to me repeatedly over the past several months by FReepers.
This thread is enough evidence.
