Exactly, God forbid we would want the police called if a child was raped.

An allegation is not proof of a crime.

Reporting an allegation to the local police in Kansas will result in a professional, evenhanded investigation that acknowledges the rights of the accused.

An allegation of a crime to the local police in Zimbabwe can quickly result in the death of the accused - even if the allegation was completely baseless.

You can continue to parrot the editorial line of the Boston Globe (more accurately New York Times North) because it gives you an emotional charge or you can use your brain and think things through.

Entirely up to you.

If the church simply dealt with the cases where the priest admitted to it, or the church deliberately covered it up and shuffled priests around to hide it, it’d be a start.

Yeah, anyone can make an allegation, but the RCC has enough verified cases alone to deal with and they aren’t.

The Boston Globe received, by court order, documents from the Catholic church that showed in the Boston dioceses alone there were over 150 priests with records of abuse.
If the Globe had not exposed the cover-up and abetting of these known molesters who would have? WHO would have?
