The church has had 1500 years to realize they have a problem, it hasn't happened yet, also, any outside attempts at trying to get the church to change has been fought with literal platoons of lawyers, and active resistance from the top down, and the pew warmers could give a rats ass about the problem as they have made abundantly clear over the fucking centuries.
The current situation isn't working, too many kids being affected for starters, if the practice was legalized, regulated, conducted with parental approval and everyone was just honest about it, that would be about the best outcome we can reasonably expect.
Yeah, I think we're taking the wrong approach. We want to stop child molestation altogether, but it's just not what Catholics and God want. We need to work with them, instead of fighting. With the church lobbying so hard to keep it going, and the government allowing them closed books so they don't have to expose their "pedophile shuffling expense" account, or how little is actually going to charitable causes, they have the power here. So all we can do is negotiate. We can't expect these men of God to just stop ass-raping kids. We can't expect parents to stop leaving their children in the care of priests. We have to get realistic. We can't expect Catholics to stop funding it either, because God would stop existing if they did.
So let's try and cut it down. We need sensible suggestions as to how we can streamline it, and deal with it in an honest and open fashion. Maybe some sort of "X factor" style show, for each priest to pick out their favourite fuck buddy. Sure, it won't be great for those kids, but think of all the others who will be saved. I agree that screening for STDs is a good start as well. Do you think the Catholics would go for this? Any more ideas as to making it all safer?
