re: #209 Kosh’s Shadow

The problem is that too many bishops try to protect the priests and not the victims, and move the priests to other parishes. If a priest is a pedophile, he shouldn’t be put in contact with children. There are plenty of other places the Church could put him.

I agree completely this is a large part of the problem. The church needs to defrock them completely, imo. Take away the authority and prestige of that position completely.

re: #202 Bagua

I’ve looked through what I’ve said here, and I think I have made my thoughts known very clearly that priest pedophiles should not be tolerated.

Some of the things you responded to me about though, have to do with my statements that I don’t believe I should allow the actions of other sinners to affect my faith in God.

Do either of you have a problem with that?
