Thats a crime....not a 'mistake'

but hey....the statute of limitations is in effect...but then the Church and FCG did 'the right thing' of exposing, defrocking or then reassignment?

I dont know the current working of the church, but do they actually still allow unsupervised meetings of minors and priests? Because that might be where I would start trying to fix the problem?



There was competing thoughts and opinions as to what to do with McCormack.

He weighed the options and made a choice that didn't work out. FAR different then someone saying they will move a known pedophile around until they are caught.

Wise priests have and continue to avoid unsupervised meetings with minors.

The Catholic Church seems to have a couple of things going against them no matter what. One that no matter how they act from these recent times forward there will be no forgiveness from the public for the abuse actions. Second they are a big mainstream institution so they will be made fun of without any recourse.


What the Catholic Church has going against them is their own history of doing bad, bad things.

The Catholic Church has survived the outright stupidity and malice of many in leadership, since its beginnings. And will continue to do so despite the efforts of others to destroy her. Ask China.

So they dont have an actual policy regarding this issue? Wouldnt one think that seems to be the common trait in all of it?

It's funny how it's against the religion to serve pizza to gays at a gay wedding or to bake a cake for a gay wedding because it assumes endorsement of homosexuality, but the same religion will cover up homosexual pedophiles... does that imply explicit endorsement of homosexual pedophilia over the last 50 years or so until media pressure and lawsuits forced their hands?

I understand your point but pedophilia is a label in and of itself. Like rape it defies the attempt to attach an adjective to the crime.

There is common traits in almost every case involving a minor.

In this day and age it would seem to be common sense to avoid interactions with minors behind any type of closed door.

I'm not a priest and therefore not privvy to any policy regarding the issue.

Going forward though, guilty until proven innocent is a tough standard to live under and one I know that I would not enjoy and I would think I'm not in the minority with that thought.

What other way do you propose for them to be able to discreetly get their diddle on?
