There is a HUGE difference between disagreeing and attacking. You revel in downing others. Remember that your candle doesn't shine any brighter when you blow out someone elses.

Btw, I'm not a Catholic.

Sex with under 12 is automatically rape in English, Scots, Welsh and NI law. As under 12’s are deemed not old enough to understand what sex is.

Sex with a 12-16 yr old if consenting is called ‘unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor’. A sensible charge imo.

Rape is of course rape.

Under 12, yes.

12-16, if both parties consented, and one is over 16, its not rape, but ‘unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor’.

In some RC’s sick Bizzaro world coddling pedophiles is seen as conservative behavior.

I’m sure that she did ‘seduce’ him, but he is the adult that should be responsible for his actions; children are what adults make them into.

Does that mean he should get off scot-free?

That is a real knee-slapper.

I suppose it depends of what your definition of is is.

What I meant is that the only reason the guy would go light on someone engaged in pedophilia is because he engages in it himself and identifies with the perps.

He is forced by the rule of law to do SOMETHING, so makes a feeble token attempt to enforcing the law because he has to. I don’t see that that it the fault of anyone but him.

I agree.

I can understand why some judges are inclined to want to go easy on certain non-violent criminals under the idea that they can be reformed; however, this is NEVER the case with pedophiles.

The precedent this sets is huge for the Catholic Church, or at least for those Catholics on FR who argued that no priest molested anyone against their will, rather it was the priests who were themselves victims of seduction, taken advantage of by homosexuals within the age of consent.

Excellent point.

Too bad making that excellent point brings calls for your damnation and other name-calling.

When they don't have any defense for their faith, they just try to push people around, hoping to shut them up (or burn them at the stake.)
