No, the church does not allow those that she knows are in a state of sin to do much of anything.

"handle on it" of course, as you know, means taken steps to assure that it doesn't happen again.

In one of your own posts you said a priest in a state of sin could do the conscreating ritual.

And not let them do much of anything?

So it is not much of anything that they knew these priests were forcing children into vile sexual acts and sent them to other areas where the did the same thing?

That is totally unacceptable.

Catholics just ignore that? That sure isn't handling it right and is NOT taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. In fact, they ALLOWED it to happen over and over again. Pathetic.

Indeed he can, but without the authorization to do so by the church. If the priest is in a state of mortal sin, he can still perform as a priest....his ordination allowed him to do that. The church, of course would not approve if it knew of his sinful stste, but nevertheless the sacraments that he administered would be fully beneficial to the recipient...if he married you, you are married.
