“so let me rephrase...you don’t hate Catholics, you hate people who do bad things, and you likewise hate those whom you infer do not hate them as much as you do...”
You want to apologize for child molesters and hold them in high esteem that is your business.
But don’t come on here blasting me because I hold a deep wish that they be held accountable for the atrocities ..those that actually molested and the ones they aided and abetted by covering up the disgusting acts.
You know a Priest is a child molester but you let him continue to molest for the good of the Universal Church.
Sheesh, I hope GOD didn’t tell the Pope to let Child Molesters go unrestrained for years.
The last Pope had a good friend that was a Sexual Deviant and Child Molester.

Kiesle was sentenced in 1978 to three years’ probation after pleading no contest to charges of lewd conduct for tying up and molesting two young boys in a San Francisco rectory.
In 1981 he asked to leave the priesthood, a request backed by his diocese, which forwarded the papers to Rome. In 1982, Oakland bishop John Cummins urged Ratzinger, as head of the Vatican’s congregation for the doctrine of the faith, to grant the request.
But the case was still pending in 1985 when Ratzinger wrote to Cummins that although the argument for defrocking Kiesle was of “grave significance”, it was necessary “to submit incidents of this sort to very careful consideration, which necessitates a longer period of time”.
Another priest, George Mockel, wrote to Cummins: “My own reading of this letter is that basically they are going to sit on it until Steve gets quite a bit older,” reported AP.
Kiesle was finally removed in 1987, but in the meantime had carried out volunteer work with children through the church. He was arrested and charged in 2002 with 13 counts of child molestation from the 1970s, but all but two were thrown out after the US supreme court struck down as unconstitutional a California law extending the statute of limitations. He was later sentenced to six years in jail in 2004 for molesting a young girl in 1995. He is now 63 and a registered sex offender
