I think that her “restitution” is the shame that you so eagerly wish to bestow on her is restitution enough. Yes, her actions do have societal consequences but I don’t believe she deserves a life-sentence devoid of her child like you do.

Again, I will say that I believe that you need to seek spiritual counseling from your Priest for your obvious anger, etc. If Bristol were to go to confession and ask for forgiveness for “sin” she would be absolved - the church wouldn’t be seeking the kind of retribution you are seeking. You are the most intolerant Catholic that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.

So if my anger, etc., had not dragged the whole matter forward, no actual restitution would have been merited? That is, the restitution is having to listen to me?

In that case, why do you think you have the right to tell me to be quiet?

Actually, in view of her public espousal of sin by denigrating chastity, some sort of public retraction is precisely what the Church would typically recommend as penance.

But, not being Catholic, I suppose you can imagine it says whatever you want it to say.

So, given that you do think her actions were socially damaging, what do you believe is appropriate restitution? I can respect a different prescription, just not the notion that the correct thing do is to pretend it didn’t matter and didn’t affect social discourse and thinking about things like abstinence, chastity and the importance of the married, two-parent family.
