Which is worse? Killing someone or destroying their souls while still innocent and rendering them broken, disfunctional and faithless in the aftermath of being raped by a priest then to see that priest's church cover up and deny the act ..... even put the priest in a position to rape other children. Which is worse?

You asked for it.

"...priest's church cover up and deny the act "

The actions of individual bihops do not represent the policies of the church.

Abuse of children by anyone is reprehensible. You might want to visit "reformation.com" to see the names of hundreds or thousands of clergymen of many denominations connected with such behavior. You might even find some from your own denomination.

Many of the comments on this thread are just plain Catholic bashing and expose those making them as hate-filled bigots. I would expect to see these kind of comments on DU.
