God has given people free will, and sometimes they misuse it. Christians, too.
Where the hell was god in all of this? You constantly talk about the free will of the priest but what about the child's free will being violated? I think Tracie Harris said it best, “You either have a God who sends child rapists to rape children or you have a God who simply watches it and says, ‘When you’re done, I’m going to punish you. ’If I could stop a person from raping a child, I would. That’s the difference between me and your God.”
Covered earlier in the thread in some depth.
