Why oh why won’t they ever understand that it is particularly heinous in the RCC, because the Church sets itself up as the ONLY way to salvation. A child who is sexually abused in the RCC loses not only his innocence, but if he tells, he is in mortal fear of losing his only way to salvation. The RCC pedophile priest takes that child’s body AND his soul. And holds over him the “power” to retain or remit that child’s sins forever.
>> The power is Christ’s. Your comment is shear Donatism.

A priest does not lose his sacramental abilities because of his personal unworthiness of his office.
Corruption is found wherever you have human beings. There’s plenty of it to go around in your own sect.
it’s good that you posted the link to “donatism”, Church history is not a strong suit with these unbelievers.
Do you not comprehend? My “sect” doesn’t teach people that outside their religion, there is no salvation. That sexually abused RC child thinks he has no other place to go, if he wants to go to heaven. He has been taught to believe that the RCC is the only way. So, it’s stay in the Church and endure the abuse, or leave the Church and end up in hell. THis is what Catholicism has done to people. Don’t you understand the difference between being able to leave a place that is abusing you, and NOT being able to leave because they have told you there is NO OTHER PLACE YOU CAN GO IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED??
Wow, job security to make a teacher's union jealous.
That's got tenure all beat out.
You know what? He OUGHT TO!!!! He ought to lose it all and get sent to the slammer for that.
No person spitting in Christ's face like that has any business pretending to be a stand in for Jesus in any way.
Talk about taking the Lord's name in vain.
It can mean more than swearing.
