Thread Name: BS: Catholic Bishop and Priest Scandal
Subject: RE: BS: Catholic Bishop and Priest Scandal
what I really think is that they think the real sin that they have avoided is contact with a woman. By abusing children (they think) they have somehow kept their vows with a far lesser sin...and some of their excuses..Masters and Johnson wanted us to get in touch with our sexuality..from a bishop (I think) who had been in bed with a boy....Bullshit.

I mean in their minds it is a lesser sin...mgarvey

"These men have proven themselves beyond the pale, and whether they are in or outside of any church should have little bearing on the matter; they must be treated like any other sex offender and kept apart from the young." (Dicho)

"It seems simple- if a crime has been committed, it should be prosecuted." Ebbie

"Priests who abuse children & the bishops who protect them must be treated for what they are...criminals. "Guest/repooc

"Scares the hell out of me, as a lifelong Catholic who still goes to Mass every Sunday." hobbitwoman

I can't stomach some of the outright bullshit and bigotry that you people toss off. gnu

Any explanation, gnu?
