It gives more than an impression that the RCC is covering up for the actions of these perverts. If the majority of RCC on this site would post something that said, "WE SHOULD HANG THIS PERVERT BEFORE HE MOLESTS AGAIN" typ response, maybe you wouldn't get spammed.
Instead, what do we read? "Every Pastor does it, All religions do it, Not as many as you think do it...", and that is the language of a coverup just like the Clinton's did it.
If there were 3 pedophile Pastors in the Baptist denomination GARBC in a 2 year period, there would be an outrage within the church, arrests made, and a public shaming of that pastor.
But why is it when a priest is accused of pedopilia, he isnt arrested, he is transferred?? Dont you see how the RCC is giving people a reason to condemn the RCC by their own actions?? Release the names of the pedophile priests and have them arrested just like the Baptists would, then I will believe in the sincerity of the RCC.
Detractors salivate over our faults. I am not above criticism. I'll take the heat of any subject presented, but it's funny how none of the hate-filled agenda posters ever examine the faults of their own churchs. For example, the presbyterian and the Anglican churches have almost accepted homosexuality. The presbyterians are at least discussing it in the open. And what about birth control? All prostestant churchs are pro--BC. That is a foundational sin. Anyone who thinks birth-control and abortion aren't linked are uninformed. And then there is divorce. I could keep going as to who holds to truths and who doesn't--my point is that some people continually post about one thing. I'm sick of them, and I'm glad to expose them to the forum when they give me the opportunity.
If a Protestant minister were accused of pedophilia, do you think Protestants should be glad to have Catholics stop by to condemn, not the pedophilia, not the minister, but Protestantism itself?
I condemn the behavior, both of pedophilia and covering up for it. It's sin.
I do not appreciate Faith_j's and VLH's lovely ministrations of trashing my religion at the same time. That's the difference. They're unable to condemn pedophilia without condemning Catholicism, because they're unable to do anything without condemning Catholicism.
