I'm happy to hear you say you're literate. I'll try again.

The link said the RCC dumps pederast priests into the military, and then gave substantial evidence of that fact (which you just agreed with.)

Once in the military, with their criminal pasts unknown to military servicemen and their families, these pederast priests are free to continue whatever abuse they can manage.

The link was an astounding indictment of the Roman Catholic church. Pity that some people missed that fact. Unless sin is acknowledged, it can never be repented of.

Do you think that's true? Do you think that unless sin is acknowledged it can never be repented of?

Well, some don’t consider sin, sin - they use the word ‘mistake’. i.e., mistakes were made in covering up and priests made wrong choices.

Wonder if these evil acts against children and the covering up fits under their excommunication banner? What could be worse than that.

I read the link. It did no such thing. Post the first 15 profiles and let others decide if what SNAP claims is what the profile of cases shows.

That the majority of priests were dumped on the military when allegations of abuse came to light.

That the majority of abuse happened while they were active military chaplains.

That the majority of such abuse was made known to Church authorities while it was happening and not years later.

That the abuse always involved minors.

That no priest was removed from duty when allegations came to light.

Try that for size. Being able to deduct reasonable conclusions from facts or lack of facts presented is a skill sorely lacking in many these days. It takes logic and a willingness not to allow personal prejudices thwart our judgment and conclusions.
