Which victims - and victims of what and whom? I can say with a straight face that, according to Judith Anne who originated this thread, no one's a victim here, unless you mean the priests who were found guilty in a court of law, or by their archdiocese. Because we've all learned on this thread that:
a) (Most) Catholic priests were engaging in completely legal sex acts
b) (Most of) the priests' partners were at an age of legal consent, according to Catholic apologists, meaning that
c) (Most of) the priests' partners were engaging in consensual sex acts
d) (Some of) the priests were actually seduced by teenage boys into engaging in these legal, consensual sex acts
e) A priest who finds teenage minors sexually attractive (ephebophilia) is harboring neither a pathological nor a mental disorder.
f) There's a legal difference between molestation and rape, which means that molesting a 13 year old is better than raping a 13 year old..
g) There's at least as much abuse in Presbyterian churches as there has been in Catholic ones [which can't be very much, given points a - f]
h) There's 3-4 times as much abuse by clergy in Protestant denominations [which can't be very much, given points a - g]
i) Silence in regards to abuses by clergy shows a lack of care and concern for the victims. Speaking out in regards to abuses by clergy is exploiting the victims in order to harm others. [which condemns those who brought up points g and h, above]
I didn't ask Judith Anne I asked you and your silence and obfuscation is deafening.
I don't know what was accomplished by copying the Reichbishop on this.
lol. Thanks, Alex. Their own words reveal the absence of compassion, discernment and a heart of flesh.
