From our atheist perspective, the church is engaged in a criminal conspiracy to shield perpetrators from criminal persecution and in many cases, to facilitate those perpetrators continued criminal conduct with fresh, unsuspecting victims. And in furtherance of that conspiracy, they also deny their victims legal claims, use their lawyers to harass the victims and their families, and then conspire to hide assets to avoid paying compensation to their victims.
And it's a false religion to boot.
And it's a false religion to boot.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
