re: #9 reine.de.tout

It’s creepy, really, how completely clueless they seem to be about the devastation to young lives caused by these incidents, and that these things will continue unless a very strong zero-tolerance stand is taken.

Personally, I see it as a failure of most religions that place a higher importance on an individual’s personal sins against god than that person’s effect on other people in this world. The church honestly seems more concerned with these clergy members’ private moral transgressions than the devastating effect their actions have on innocent children and members of their congregation. And (in the case of Protestant churches where they are allowed to marry), their own families.
