re: #142 reine.de.tout

I’m thinking the Church failed to do anything with these guys because it was indeed trying to ‘DEVELOP’ them as people, by “forgiving” them and giving them another chance rather than punishing them, when what they deserved was punishment and actually, banishment.

I don’t care what excuse you give for the RCC’s recent wave of f*cked up behavior. Banishment? Banishment!?! What are you going on about? Punishment, yes, definitely that. The kind of punishment that results in hard jail time for decades on end. Maybe even for life if that can be legally arranged.

Develop them as people. That is such a terrible excuse, reine. If the Church was trying to develop them, they would have turned them in to the law. You know, there’s that commandment that reads, “Thou shalt not lie.”

Maybe another commandment is needed that reads “Thou shalt not molest thy parishioners’ children.” Once the RCC cleans house, which it probably won’t.

The quote in my lgf profile doesn’t apply to this situation.

-1 for you.
