Are you suggesting those in leadership positions were/are not partakers and leaders of the scheme???
“Are you suggesting those in leadership positions were/are not partakers and leaders of the scheme???”
No, I am certainly not. I assume they are.
“Not all the perps in the PA report were/are gay.
OK, maybe so. Not sure what you’re getting at, but if a pedophile diddles a child of the same sex, that perp is definitely gay.
What do you think would happen?
Do you think Home Depot Management would let this go on for years? NO, they would not.
Management Teams at Home Depot would move in to protect the children. They would turn the men over to the police - they would NOT 'protect' the rapists... Not for a minute. Why? Because the average store employee in the United States is more ethical than these so called 'priests'...
The reason Catholic abuse of children has gone on so long i the Catholic Church allows it to happen... Yes, they allow the men to rape children. We expect more of Home Depot or Sears or McDonalds than we expect of the Catholic Church. Think about that for a minute.
And I'm NOT saying Catholics can't 'forgive the fallen'. I'm saying it's just as easy to 'forgive' a fallen priest while he's serving a sentence in prison for raping a child as it is to 'forgive' him while he's sitting in a rent free rectory with plenty of access to young children.
Yes! Agreed!
About 25 years too late.
