Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | All this exciting stuff happening while FrG is on vacation. If he were here I just know he'd want to comment on this wonderful story about a fellow priest.

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Simple question -- Why does it seem the church polices itself on sex abuse cases? Why don't you hear of any priests behind bars for raping and abusing children? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I think it's because they can deliver a lot of votes, simple as that. I believe that is how religious exemption/protection got included in the BOR. In #1 freedom of speech was already there, why was there a need to add to that freedom of religion.

I would think the church would welcome the police to get involved to get rid of dirty priests. It seems every week there is some story of the church protecting them. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

It seems every week there is some story of the church protecting them. Involving police means public scrutiny, and that's the last thing they want. Way easier to sweep it under the rug by reprimanding the priest and moving him to another parish. That way it's kept in the house and the public never knows about it.

But we already know about it. It may be easier in the short run to sweep a mess under the rug, but it doesn't solve the big problem. Eventually somebody will lift up the rug and see the dust. That is why most people get out the broom and dust pan and clean properly to begin with. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

If we already know about it, it's not because the Church wanted it made public. They've done everything they can to keep it a secret. These things are terribly embarrassing for the Church. and it hurts them in the recruitment of new priests, which is at an all time low anyway. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | That may be how a "normal" guy thinks? But these people are pros, they've kept this kind of thing and worse hidden for thousands of years. I defer to them on how to keep stuff hidden. Time is on their side. Some complainers die or move on. For each person that tires of the chase, they save tons of loot. People know about it, but everyone that has kids thinks, not me not my kids. Then there is a Superbowl and spring comes and life goes on, meanwhile the stalker lurks in the shadows. Shush and people will forget. How many parishioners actually search their priest on the web? And if they did, what would they find if it never made the courts? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
