Imagine you were a member of the Mafia and you were found to have raped a child. You wouldn’t have the life expectancy of a house fly.
No kidding. and yet here's how the U.S. bishops respond to pederasty...
"June 2002 - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops agreed on a new policy that would forbid pedophile priests from ever again acting as clerics - but not necessarily expel them from the priesthood.
This endless scandal is a direct result of the foul theology which teaches that Roman Catholic priests are an "alter Christus" -- "another Christ." Priests therefore believe that lie and feel "entitled" to whatever gratification they desire. And since a "celibate" priesthood attracts men who don't mind forsaking a real family life with a wife and children, the situation is ripe for sin and tragedy.
Over three billion dollars have been paid out by the RCC in the United States in the past 50 years. And nothing changes.
CRIMEN SOLLICITATIONIS is still in effect, still threatening the victim with excommunication if he tells anyone except a priest about the sexual molestation he's suffered. No police. No parents. No teachers. Just another priest who is forbidden by church law from making the accusation public.
Sadly, even this scandal in Germany which directly involves Ratzginer's brother will probably never reach critical mass. There are too many complicit fellow travelers, some right here in River City.
