Sex abuse in church

[Marigold2]

More info is coming out about the Pope being aware of sex abuse against children and sweeping it under the rug. My question to those Catholics is

Why should he not be arrested and charged as anyone else would be and why are the priests not charged with a crime?

That is the question. Can anyone give me an honest answser?

This has nothing to do with the church itself. This has to do with men who sexually abuse children.

Doesn't matter if you are a policemen, firemen, plumber, carpet cleaner, TV repair man, landscaper, dentist, truck driver, business owner, priest or pope.

If you sexually abuse a child you should go to jail for a very long time if not for life.

Warren Jeffs hid behind his religon and he is in jail.

If a dentist abuses a child and he says to the police, " well priets do it and it is sweep under the rug, why can't I do it, I am Catholic as well?"

What would your answer be to this? He is a man, he is Catholic, he abused a child. Nothing else matters, does it?

I think ANYONE who abuses a child, or covers up knowledge of it, should be arrested and charged, no matter WHO they are.

The school should have beat the kid, the mother and the father.

This is the kind of BS that should never happen-making stupid kids into martyrs.

I would have kicked the crap out of my kid and told the judge to triple the sentence.

My question to you is...

Where are the links to the info?

Why should he not be arrested and charged as anyone else would be and why are the priests not charged with a crime?

The Pope is not a US citizen, you really think the Vatican Police Department is going to arrest the Pope to be charged?

Priests and the clergy are far more scrutinized then policemen, firemen, plumber, carpet cleaner, TV repair man, landscaper, dentist, truck driver, business owners, so why is it teachers and not priests are in the news for recent sexual abuse of minors?

If you sexually abuse a child you should go to jail for a very long time if not for life.

If you sexually abuse a child you forfeit your life in my eyes.

Where he should be in our society. Im not so understanding.

If a dentist abuses a child and he says to the police, " well priets do it and it is sweep under the rug, why can't I do it, I am Catholic as well?"

What would your answer be to this? He is a man, he is Catholic, he abused a child. Nothing else matters, does it?

If "The Catholic Priests do it why cant I" was a viable defense why are so many teachers and cops going to jail and not priests?

My answer to anybody convicted of abusing a child? Its a ten cent solution.
