I did no such thing. I will not tolerate claims you make about my character. You claim there is never enough “substantive” evidence for Roman Catholics to denounce their pederast priestcraft and the hierarchy which hides, defends, protects and promotes them.

I take it that you include me in that statement. Yet I wrote in my reply to you that “The damage done to the victims by the abusers and by those who covered it up can not be appeased by earthly justice alone. But until the Lord’s day pursuit of and reliance on that earthly justice will have to do. If the wrong doings of Bishops and priests are exposed in that pursuit of justice so be it. If that leads to charges being laid and findings of guilt so be it. If that means jail or fines or both so be it.”

I also wrote “the board, if they had done a proper investigation should have been able to substantiate Neill’s claim. That they did not take a more aggressive stance in pursuing evidence is certainly a failure on their part. That was a wrong doing on their part.”

I also told you this “Sadly I think in the majority of cases it was worse. They did believe the victims. Knew the victims were telling the truth and still acted against them.”

Regrading the Grand Jury report I wrote “I have no problem with the report and agree with most of its findings.”

Regarding the investigation of Neill’s report “That they did not do enough to gather this evidence is indeed a great fault and entirely to their blame.”

None of what I have written supports your base claim that I refuse to denounce pederast priests. I am sick to death of the RM failure to call you to account for repeatedly stating that Roman Catholic freepers do not denounce abusive priests and those who covered up their crimes. You get away with it despite answers that contradict your assertions being given over and over again.

You are entitled to your opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts and you are not entitled to lie about me.

Some people are easy going, some are difficult to satisfy, some are impossible. I cannot instruct a poster how to weigh what he reads here - or what conclusions he must draw from it.

For instance, one Freeper may say "Catholics worship Mary" and believe it is the absolute truth. Another poster may say that very same statement is a damnable lie. No volume of evidence or reasoning would change either mind. And since I am not God, I cannot decree truth.
