By defrocking those who are known abusers, especially those who went into the priesthood under false pretenses in order to have access to children, it will eliminate that element from the priesthood.That is what is done. Did you not know that? Hiding under a rock maybe?
Pope defrocks 400 priests in 2 years
VATICAN CITY – A document obtained by The Associated Press shows Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests over just two years for molesting children.
And the thread that Catholics posted on it is linked to where, exactly?
You’d best tell that to your *Once a priest, always a priest* fellow Catholics.
Apparently they have not gotten the newsflash yet.
Hiding under a rock when the news story is only a couple days old?
Pretending that this is old news is intellectually dishonest.
400 defrocked out of a claimed 1 billion church membership. The percentages are staggering. /s
400 would cover maybe the New York area.
