What "sort of thing"?
I'm asking you a simple question which you've refused to answer. Is it your position that only Catholic sex scandals have a place here?
And for what point, exactly? What is the point of (PICTURES) in the OP? Has there been a trial?
What is the point of the pictures? Presumably they form part of the evidence in the case. Has there been a trial? No. But since when has that ever been a precondition for reporting news? Arrests and allegations are reported all the time. Including cases which involve the Catholic Church.
Would you prefer it if the pictures were suppressed?
Maybe last yr I had a mulitpage discussion with, I’ll say, 3 devote Catholics who cited a study based on the mid 80’s to 2000 comparing the Catholic Priest sexual abuse cases to Protestant accusations and the gist of it was, “see, Protestant Churches have an even worse problem! the Southern Baptist Convention will not start a database of the accusations because there are soo many of them”!
I feel your pain but I've never been a party to that discussion. The "your scandal is worse than ours" food fight is not something in which I'm interested.
You're arguing with the wrong guy.
And exactly when has CNN ever been considered even fair, let alone quotable in the Religion Forum?
This has nothing to do with CNN. Long has been accused by three men and of that there is absolutely no doubt. It's everywhere, not just CNN and Long's own lawyer admits the accusations although he denies any guilt, of course. So CNN and CBS are simply reporting the allegations.
Again, you made allegations about my motives for posting this which were highly improper. You suggested I was on "a quest", while refusing to produce any evidence to back that up and you trashed me in a post directed to another Freeper without having the courtesy to ping me. Another no-no.
Are you disputing the allegations against Long? Are you suggesting that all news of the allegations be suppressed? Do you consider that this news should not be on FR?
What exactly do you want?
“What “sort of thing”?
Hmm, we were just discussing that in post 22 or so.
“I’m asking you a simple question which you’ve refused to answer. Is it your position that only Catholic sex scandals have a place here?”
Really? I missed that question so allow me to answer:
No, they have no place anywhere, there should be none to begin with here or wherever.
Well, knowing FR’s software, I’ll keep this short, one’s inclusion of (PICTURES) was, by your own admission “they form part of the evidence in the case”
So it is you intention to conduct a trial by media, what case, exactly, are we trying? Can we make motions, depose witnesses, rely on CNN to completely inform us on the details of the case?
