Sex abuse in church

BLUE


Blue you need to research your material a little better. The only thing for sure
is that Fox and the Washington Inquirer smear campaign have been proven wrong and there is no association between Duncan or Jennings and the Nambla. Jennings founded the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Education Network but has openly denounced NAMBLA as has Duncan.

You defend one group of pedofiles because Fox news may have attacked them. Is the Washington Inquirer a real newspaper or is it like the Onion?

I know Duncan isnt officially NAMBLA but that doesnt mean he hasnt condoned their ideals.

Has the Church done wrong? Yes it has. Does every member of the Church deserve to be smeared as a molester? No they dont.

Blue.....nobody is of the opinion that every member of the church is a molester. But the ones that are, must be brought to task.
Nobody here is attacking the Catholic church, or attacking Catholics.
We are just questioning why, in this day and age, why it's the way it is.

The main stream news in the states wants us to believe that the Pope has raped babies.

If we are asking why, I want to know why the Church is the target and not the foster care system?

The Pope's job before he was elected to Pope was to protect the church from embarassment and liability. Admitting guilt was never an option.
So he swept the whole lot under the rug.
I don't know about you Blue....but I'm pretty sure I would never allow my children to be taught in a Catholic school.
As far as punishment goes, the guilty were relocated and probably given a slap on the hand. Who knows where these guys ended up....at the school down the road from me, at the school near you. How do you know where they have been relocated to ??? Is the Pope going to tell you ???? No, because he doesn't want you to know, and he doesn't want the world to know.
"If we are asking why, I want to know why the Church is the target and not the foster care system?"
Why are you people so paranoid about this ???? It doesn't matter who the target is !!!! The intent is to rid the community of these molesters, and at the moment, it's Catholic policy to hide these people.

Good grief! I can see why you liken the crimes of the Pope to Obama being responsible for every criminal in the USA. The media do what they usually do, whip up a frenzy. It makes money. And it's exciting.

Blue, am I right in assuming that the word from the Vatican to the dioceses is cooperate with all investigations?

That leaves me in two minds. I believe that answers the point about law enforcement in the church - of course there is, in all of the nations the faith spans. Yet, the fact the Pope has to proclaim what he has begs the question, would they evade the questioning behind the hood of pontifical privacy, were he not to tell them otherwise?

Not intended as a smear, indeed, I would imagine most religious authorities would look to their pontifex above all else. I just wonder what your opinion is on this?
