Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Joe, the sheer sophistry of your replies denies any acceptance of the reality of the problem, I'm sad to have to say. You close the gamut of the problem down so nobody actually responsible can be held to account, and you shift the target, it's not the protestors who are not fighting fair, it's you.
Your Church has become a byword for contempt and you are clearly willing to turn every blind eye, to twist every logic, to cheese-pare and finagle until the problem that's as plain as a pikestaff disappears in a chimaera of farrago. The answer's equally plain: you speak for a Church which will do anything to dodge, duck and sidle past any accountability for its responsibility. You won't even accept that your Church writ large is responsible for anything, let alone accountable for the consequences. It's not the position for what the law has found across a fairish gamut of the world, so denial of the truth makes you equally as much recalcitrant as those who actually backslide into repeating the offences.
In doing so, you dishonour not only your heritage, but the reputation of other Churches of your faith not tainted by the same besmirching. The only way you'll ever manage to clear that up is by gathering the innocent men in the pews to act against your heirarchy, in rebellion. I don't see how you can possibly accept the philosophy of apostolic descent in the Confessional when the heirarchy is unpredictably tainted by such deeds, for example: your priesthood would have to act if nobody turned up to be absolved one Saturday. You have power you won't use, and so are tacitly complicit.
