Here’s a story from today’s WSJ where the Prime Minister of Belgium demands that this pedophile be punished...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703648304576265033882970122.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

This guy was the bishop of Bruges. He admits to sexually molesting his nephews for over a decade, one beginning at the age of five years old!

Someone should tell that to Bill Donahue who recently took out a full-page ad in the NYT defending these child rapists by saying most of the “abuse” was actually done with “adolescents.”

“Five-year-olds, Dude.”

This TV interview not only displays the mindset of the pedophile; it shows us the Roman Catholic church’s attitude toward pedophilia — it is a privilege for an “alter Christus” to seek “a little comfort” where he can find it.

Though retired, this pedophile is still a priest. He hasn’t been punished. He’s unrepentant. And Rome is still protecting him.

The ability to excuse and rationalize their conduct is what makes the pedophiles able to continue the abuse.

The bishop's comments are disgusting but hardly surprising.

CRITICAL POINTS, imho:

.

Though retired, this pedophile
is still a priest.
He hasn’t been punished.
He’s unrepentant.
And Rome is still protecting him.

I could readily extend tons of grace because I'm a sinful creature with a deceitfully wicked heart, too. And I do extend tons of grace to one and all, regardless.

I'd even be willing in many cases with fossilized old burps being 'retired' and hidden away in some monastery doing menial tasks or praying most of their waking hours . . . assuming they'd repented and shown contrition etc.

However, the unrepentant aspect followed by the still protecting him . . . not very Biblical. Not very fitting. Not very honorable. Not very sensible.
