Which discussion in particular are you objecting to? I've previously posted my concern and outrage about this in somewhat voluminous detail. I first discussed the problem of homosexuals in Catholic institutions with a ranking clergyman in 1983. The question about the insanity and moral dilemma of a suicide is valid theologically, if that seemed problematic.

I was responding to your post 12 on this thread, not to what you may have written in the past. No doubt, you and I share many similar views. However, your Post #12 struck me as just a bit too sympathetic toward the criminals who use clerical authority to take sick advantage of trusting children.

You said, “It's sad and tragic that some of these cases were NOT stopped earlier.” Stopped, by whom? The victims? The perpetrators should have stopped themselves. It’s more than a tragedy; it’s a crime.

"And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.”

Those are Jesus’ words, and I agree with him.
