these are simply numerous, isolated incidents of grown men, entrusted with the spiritual guidance of their flocks, sexually abusing young children. what's the BFD?
LOL... Yep, and people wonder why I think the Catholic Church is full of shit.... Once some of these priests get prosecuted, the victims and their supporters can yell, "Oh SNAP!" (sorry bad pun)Reciprocity wrote:

On that note, why do they call themselves "survivors"? I don't recall any instances of them dying.Turquoise wrote:

Well, I think it's more like a figurative way of saying, "I got over the fact that I was raped as a child by a priest." In other words, they mentally survived the ordeal and are now ready to speak out.DesertFox- wrote:

The fact that in a huge number of cases the Church knew what was going on and didn't take appropriate action.Reciprocity wrote:

"hey I've got a great idea, lets stay pure by not marrying woman... but instead molesting young boys!"

however sick it may be.
Theres a much more effective and legal way to appear celibate than having sex with children.
Its called hardcore pornography.... and masturbation.

Without getting involved with the whole priests remaining sell-a-bit (or however you spell it). I'd just like to point out that, no matter what your belief, or how strong your faith, (judging by the out-of-court settlement,) if you give the Catholic church your money (in any way, shape or form) you are giving them a way to buy the innocence of these paedophiles.
DO NOT GIVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH YOUR MONEY!!! If you do, you support paedophillia! mmmK!
And anyway, even if they weren't a bunch of kid raping poofs, they don't need any more money...
EDIT: Oh shit, now after reading my post I think I sound lioke one of those damned Southerners

Churches pay for Sexual Abuse Insurance because they know there priest are going to molest young children.. wtf!?The largest of those came in December, when the archdiocese reached a $60 million settlement with 45 people whose claims dated from before the mid-1950s and after 1987 - periods when it had little or no sexual abuse insurance.
Religion is so stupid. You know you've interpreted "the word" of your god wrong when you have to pay insurance because the leaders of your faith molest young boys.LT.Victim wrote:

Because they are now guilty? I think their issue is more the whole psychological damage thing than "lost innocence".Cardinal Mahony wrote:
There really is no way to go back and give them that innocence that was taken from them.
I gotta agree here.Mitch wrote:

But, that 600 mil is divided up between a lot of wrecked bottoms.
This kind of stuff goes on in all religions. The Catholics are just the largest Christian denomination, so they get all the spotlight. In my neck of the woods the paper talks about the allegations against the Mormons.
I grew up in Utah. I remember.
Predators like this have nothing to do with the way "The Word" is interpreted. These are a small minority of church leadership, though they are the only ones the press reports on. It's sad you've chosen to judge all leadership based on some bad apples and beyond that judge a whole religion without considering those who do not molest.CommieChipmunk wrote:

The catholic church can burn as far as I'm concerned.

Come on now... Islam can at least use the excuse that they have no Pope figure but the Catholic church spent years trying to cover this shit up, that makes it an endemic problem within the Church. I know a priest near where I grew up who even helped two paedophile teachers escape being caught for years.Stingray24 wrote:

Not excusing the Catholic Church for wrongs...but I wonder how many other religions or non-religions (perhaps atheist) have committed sex crimes?...The Catholics just have deep pockets
