For looking at photos of little children in sexual poses. Those were human beings in those photos and the man looking at them is sick, sick, sick and doesn't belong in society.
and many studies show, that other churches have a HIGHER rate of abuse. but they are simply better at covering it up.
I don't care. Those Churches aren't my problem and they don't have the Truth. We are the Catholic Church - God's one true church here on Earth. Is it no big deal when your 15 year old takes a few hits from the bong just because the rest of the kids are doing it? No, of course not. It's huge. It's your kid. This our Church and we need to stand up and call these bishops out when they're wrong. Just like we would anyone else whom we love. Don't be an enabler. Lots of bishops deserve lots of jail time. Maybe they should be there with public school administrators, I have no idea. I fix my own house first.

so Bishops should do jail time, for coverups.
but you have no idea, if the same standard should apply,
to school administrators, like at Penn State?
-
one reason, the focus is on the Catholic church, is because they admitted they had a problem decades ago. and have worked hard to fix it.
...our schools sweep it under the table.
because the media won’t investigate and go after other institutions, as the do the church.
-
“i have no idea”, sounds a lot like a German saying “i had no idea it was happening”.
-
i “enable” nothing.
i agree in cleaning our house. but our schools, etc.,
ARE part of our house!!!
...and spending 99% of the effort going after the one institution that has ADMITTED the problem,
and now has the LOWEST rate of abuse... ?
THAT focusings attention away from places much worse.
THAT is enabling them!
-
especially when in 2011, rapes of our military men exceeded that of women?
...and no one will discuss the root cause of all this abuse?
Take comfort in knowing that even those who outwardly profess contempt and hostility towards the Church demonstrate their true feelings when they expect more of Catholics and the Catholic Church that they do of others. We know that those who abused and those who aided and abetted were acting counter to Church teaching. As every sin is also a sin against God and His Church, the entire body of the Church has been harmed by the actions of a few. While we pray for the actual victims, we have nothing to apologize for to those who giddily display schadenfreude with every new victim discovered. They too are in need of our prayers.
Peace be with you
