"Deny, delay, die" church strategy wins again
Quote:French priest accused of sex crimes in Nunavut has died
When Tanya Tungilik learned French priest Johannes Rivoire had died overnight, she screamed.
“My first reaction was anger,” said the daughter of Marius Tungilik, the first Inuk to file a complaint of child sexual abuse against Rivoire. “I was angry that Johannes Rivoire didn’t die in jail like he was supposed to.
Rivoire was a missionary Oblate priest for the Catholic Church in Nunavut for 30 years.
He served in three remote communities between 1963 and 1993, where five children alleged he sexually assaulted them.
But Rivoire, who denied the accusations, died in hospital in Lyon, France after a long illness.

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"
