Its weird how bizarrely desperately the media grabs at straws sometimes to try to make all Catholics evil or whatever.This is sick, absolutely sick. Crimes should be weighted by the damage they do. The sexual abuse of a child causes horrible mind scarring (and some physical scarring) I've known many adults who were raped as a child. Some of them are still seriously fucked up from the experience (and they are older adults). It's horrible abuse that sticks with a person throughout their life and some people never come to terms with it. It's abusing someone over and over (sometimes) who can't defend themselves. Trapping them in a situation they think they can't get out of. Making them feel dirty, horrible, and worthless. The rage and isolation they must feel. I could go on about this but it would just make me mad.
Both sins receive the highest level of discipline, as they should. Do you want the Vatican to make up some super special ultra penalty for pedophiles only or what? One has added criminal charges attached to it so there you go. The Daily mail is a terrible publication even on the best of subjects.



You are really sick and twisted
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
