But I'm sure it was just a one-generation problem and not a long-standing practice that was only exposed because of modern media and the new idea that rape victims need to come forward. Because if it has really been going on for centuries then that would imply hundreds of thousands or even millions of child rapes were willfully ignored by the church. I find that hard to believe, given the church's stellar reputation what with the inquisition, crusades, witch burnings and etc.
a one generation problem ??
Um, no. How about 1500 years worth ??
That's why child sexual abuse is a secret sacrament.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
