I always thought it was interesting that the Church was castigated for 'not doing anything', when they DID. It's just that pedophiles and sexual abusers cannot be 'healed', even though the psychiatrists and psychologists TOLD the Dioceses that these priests WERE healed. Why were these medical folks never called to account for their part in all this? I never heard ONE person in the media say anything negative about the counseling community's role. All the blame went on the Dioceses for returning these men to their positions in Parishes, even though they'd be told that it was OK to do so.
You know what, we’d have to sue the universities who gave them their educations too. At that time people really thought that psychiatrists could actually make people well. We now know that psychiatry alone can’t heal anything. It was back when liberalism was growing and accepted, that if you just treated people nice they wouldn’t rob you or kill you.
It was about the same time that the liberalism that is choking our nation was touting self-esteem, w/o accomplishment, of course. “You’re okay, I’m okay”, “The devil made me do it”. No accountability, it was always some mean entity’s fault if you messed up and personal sin was always someone else’s fault. Victims were made and then celebrated as if they had actually accomplished something by pointing a finger. Personal responsibility and intiative were considered selfish.
Argh! I could go on, but you’re on FR, you already know.
I have never figured out why the parents of kids molested by these pervs never went to the police.
