Don't just presume that even if you're not a R.C., that it can't happen in other churches!

You're in deep denial. Law and others in Boston were part of a criminal conspiracy and coverup. What right do you have to even comment on others. You have a huge mess of your own to clean up. If you dont watch out and Boston archdiosese goes bankrupt, then all church records will be open to the public. Wont that be fun.

Did I say anything about Law not being punished? No, I didn't, and you're still not addressing my post! I think you're in denial yourself! For your information; churches, as well as schools or other organizations, are full of individuals who have the capacity/potential to go wrong. Say what you will, but certainly you remember that when Christianity started; people were certainly uplifted, filled with the Holy Spirit.

But that didn't make them perfect plastic people incapable of sin. But it was to strengthen them, and help them keep on the path. They were still humans, learning to keep from tempting situations. Let me ask you, isn't it possible for anyone in other churches from going astray? Or are they perfect, even more perfect than the Lord himself? I don't think you'll ever find someone more perfect than he was and still is.

Yes, the RC church has got a mess to clean up. Yes, the priests and others who abuse children and/or cover for others should be punished. What I'm trying to remind you and others of, is to be watchfull of your own church leaders! Otherwise you come off sounding like the Pharisee in the story about the Pharisee and the Publican. He was standing there saying he was so glad he wasn't a sinner like the guy sitting humbly, and crying that he was a sinner and sorry for his sins.

Now surely you've read that story, my dear; because it is in the Bible, I've seen it! There is also something about "Taking the log out of your own eye, before removing the mote from your brother's"! Maybe it's not in that exact form in all Bible's, but I'm sure it is basically the same in all! Maybe you should look and find it before you try to sit in judgment of RCs behavior! And then again, you have no right to judge!

Yes, that will be great fun. The deeper the justified humiliation of AmChurch liberals who have covered these horrors, the less likely the repetition. Do you think we want to protect Law's reputation? Catholics who are Catholics, within the bouds of fact and justice, long for the complete blood purge of the AmChurch liberal jerks who have caused not only these scandals but many other wounds to the Church. Whatever you may think you CANNOT be as angry as we are.

Let the games proceed and thumbs down on each one proven guilty of lavender perversions or covering the same. The truth is STILL the Truth and always will be. We survived Judas and Diocletian and Luther and Henry Eighth and Lizzie I and we will survive these guys.
