Sexual Abuse in Social Context: Clergy and other (Secular) Professionals.
#61
RE: Sexual Abuse in Social Context: Clergy and other (Secular) Professionals.
We have learned that pedophile enabler Nishant only knows about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church from what he read on the Catholic League website. Everything else he considers "militant atheism" and he does not want to hear about it, even when it is from the mouths of other Catholics who have been abused.

Or it is an award because the Catholic Church has sent him to a new place where people don't know him and will carelessly entrust him with their kids.

The other thing is that Catholic Church moves all priests from parish to parish every five or so years. I guess that it is because they can't settle down and have a family of their own.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I said it was an intended punishment, not that it didn't ultimately act as an award. To me, making a token effort and failing miserably > not even trying. Why, yes, it does suck that the only way I can actually compliment the Vatican on their handling of this shit is by comparing them to another religion that doesn't even bother.

Also, I did not know about the "every five or so years" thing. Then again, the most time I spent in a Catholic environment was high school, and that's only four years.
