Pope Francis wishes Muslims a happy Ramadan

Not trying to be a dick here, but the question begs to be asked...

How - in any way, shape or form - was ANY reason to play a shell game with predatory priests "honorable"???

 

It seems likely that not every person involved in relocating the pedo priests knew of those priests' predilections. It would be harder to keep a lid on it the more people that knew, so through no fault of their own some people may have been made accomplices without their knowledge.

 

Simply put: If I heard there was a trend of kids somehow getting molested at say, KFC, can you guess which place I would be avoiding like the plague?

Now, are the drumsticks and gravy great, the staff friendly and courteous MOST of the time? Sure. Wouldn't risk going there no matter how great the service. Especially when you know they simply relocate the offending cooks.

I'd say there's a gulf of difference between tasty food* and someone's core belief system.


* Author's Note. I'm in no way saying KFC is tasty. it is not. It is horrible, horrible food. Popeye's is the best.

 

This I can accept as a reason.

This I cannot.

Sorry bro, but I don't care WHO the person is. If my own father were molesting children I'd turn him in. There is nothing, repeat NOTHING "honorable" about covering up the defiling of children. Not. A. Thing.

I don't care WHAT kind of "excellent parish ministry" they were doing. Once your dick goes into a child, the scales tip FAR in the other direction. Basically you're saying that these bishops cared more for their own than their flock. Disgusting, despicable, and the lot of them should be banished.

If they wanted to believe in the "remorse and repentance" of their priests, then make them man up and pay for their crimes and THEN ask for forgiveness. In my opinion, and I dare say in the opinion of ANYONE with a moral conscience, by covering up for those priests those bishops were as guilty of the crime as if they had done it themselves.

 

That's what I'm having a tough time digesting bro. I don't care what year it was, wrong is wrong. Is there any reasoning behind slavery that we should understand now? It was accepted back then but it was still heinous.

I'm not saying you're defending them, but man...I don't even want to "understand" why. And even if that was the reasoning. There were the 70's, 80's and 90's where these priests were still in their respective churches and no one did a thing. There's no excuse for that.

There really isn't much to learn from so's not to make the same mistakes. It's pretty simple....

Don't touch kids, and if you know someone who does, fry his ***.

 

I guess the word "honorable" just threw me off.

 

Ahhh, this was a nice thread to read
