Agreed. I don’t think there’s any more heinous crime than molestation unless it’s abortion.

Yet—despite numerous cases of recanters (Bernadin is just the most famous), no one ever seems to think that the accusers may be lying. It’s Duke LAX all over again. And that’s supposedly why we have courts. The Church ‘settles’ on many of these because of the scandal involved. I think that’s understandable. What isn’t understandable OR forgivable, for me, is accepting monetary settlements if you’ve got a decent case for conviction, or if all you’re really concerned about is the monetary settlement. If you’ve got a real case, adjudicate; don’t prostitute yourselves. Yes, I’m blaming the so-called victims, too. If these “victims” truly were molested and were truly concerned about other children, they’d prosecute, and jail the bastards. None of these plaintiffs apparently took that route.

I’m dumbfounded. That thing you just posted has left me speechless. No comment is needed for those who can’t see the utter evil contained in that shameless justification for what has happened in the RCC.

Catholics seem to love their preditor ‘priests,’ judging by the posts to this thread.
