If what you say is such a ‘grievously evil’ act by a Priest....and deserving of hell as you say....then there is no justification why the Pope and leadership has not outed them whatsoever....and in fact they continue to protect them making them as evil as the pervert who did the act.
Where is the outcry of the church membership...and or at least a grand exodus to protect the children and family members from further harm by these criminals?
Why isn’t there a grand gathering in front of the Vatican to seek justice by the membership? Instead of just the victims and their families. Why isn’t every member crying out that these Priests be outed and that now.?
The silence is overwhelming... which leaves any outside catholicism with the opinion your Priesthood and the perps within it are more significant than it’s members and it’s children....and there is no shame.
By 1990, John Paul II had put a stop to 95% of the sexual abuse, before any of the lawsuits, and before any of the media attention. I’m still waiting for the Southern Baptist Convention to make the very fist steps that the Catholic Church had. Instead, all that comes out from them is, “We’re not Catholic, so we don’t have a problem.”
