Are you saying the church is some sort of prison rape power play game?
I'm saying that a lot of evidence throughout all of history shows they were/are about POWER and that money and sex go along with this.
Rape? Well, in the Vatican itself I would assume they set the laws, but you can check on that. I'm assuming in the internal situation it's all consensual. Outside of the Vatican their victims are many...that's a fact. I can't count them, but it does seem to be "countless"....
It's a strange world. Things are not as they seem. There is no such thing as Justice, for example.
I think we all hide our heads in the sand.
A bigger question would be this. At first we heard about a few abuses. Then we heard about dozens. Then hundreds. Then thousands. Now we can take it tens of thousands......
So....do you STILL think it is "rogue" Priests? Is there ANY point where you'd think different? Like is the test Oh, we have to prove over one million abused...or something of the sort???
Whatever you called the Church weren't my words. I made myself clear. There is lots of smoke and actually a lot of fire. We can all hold our own opinions as to what that means, but when I hear 5 or 10 or 50 are caught, I don't celebrate because it's like a seizure of 4 tons of heroin. All that means is that 100X as much got through.
It hasnt changed anything in my area, PLENTY of people are still lining up to send their kids to catholic schools, even those who were guilty of sweeping these things under the rug in the past?!!
What parent, in their right mind, would willingly send their kids to a school that has done this multiple times in the past?! Isnt that like child endangerment or something?!
This scandal been going on for twenty-odd years. Why wait so long?
