Meaningfulness v meaninglessness; theism vs atheism;

[Ryft]

Ryft, how can the Church stop the molestation? What measures would you put in place?

How about not simply moving such priests from one locale to another, where they can continue their behavior with a new batch of kids? How about paying attention to the letters that were streaming in to Vatican officials for several decades, warning about what was taking place and that the priests should be defrocked? How about letting your priests get married so they can satisfy their natural sexual desires in covenant matrimony (e.g., 1 Cor. 7:9)? And so on.

When one Christian does something evil we do not say that Christianity is herself evil. This is what you and others are doing.

First, don't lump me in with others. Second, that is not what I am doing. I did not suggest that the RCC should be blamed for what this or that priest did; the RCC should be blamed for what its Vatican authorities did or didn't do.

The Pope and other bishops didn't know. If they did, they would have put a stop to it sooner.

A claim Rome has made for years, and proven to be an outright lie in court in 2007. They had known since at least the 1950s.

Why don't you give me a break, Ryft, rather than being hateful toward me?

Because you are doing what bishops and priests have done for decades—defending Rome and NOT the victims. And you are clearly not informed of the issues, since you are spewing Vatican talking points that are at minimum four years out of date and refuted by evidence in court. When you start showing more concern for the abuses than for the integrity of Rome, then I'll give you a break.
