Alternative Letter To The Pope:
Holy Father:
We the undersigned have a programme regarding resolution of the current abuse allegations which have afflicted the Church. We hereby submit if for your consideration:
-Any member of the Church - male, female, ordained or laity - who is accused of sexual misconduct with a minor, or any who abets such conduct or withholds information regarding the accusation, be immediately suspended from all church functions.
-All information and evidence regarding the allegation is to be turned over to the relevant secular authorities for investigation.
-In the event of conviction, the accused shall be punished according to secular law, and the Church shall declare them excommunicate and anathema.
-Also in the event of conviction, the Church shall admit to wrongdoing for allowing the misconduct to occur, and shall abjectly apologize to the victim and his/her family.
In Jesus' name, do SOMETHING.
