Are YOU supposing that because the priest is a sicko, that the child ALSO is denied salvation? Because that’s the inverse of the position you are suggesting makes you feel like throwing up.

No. What makes me feel like throwing up over the situation is what I said, plain and simple. But perhaps that's why you're having trouble understanding it.

Like caww said, imagining where the priest put those same hands that are now lifting up the host in consecration.....

That's what's sickening, and no, I don't think God is going to damn a child because of a priest.

I see you’ve dropped the pretense that this has anything to do with doctrine.

I agree, mm. Of course God isn’t going to damn a child because of a priest. The problem is the child, being taught from the beginning that that priest can retain or remit that child’s sins, is bound and chained to that priest and the Church for his salvation. (He THINKS, because that’s what he’s been taught). THAT’S what is sickening, to me. Pray for those children to have their eyes opened and to see the truth of God’s Word. That their salvation depends on no man or institution, but on the finished work of Christ. And that alone.
