How do christens justify child molestation?
January 23, 2021 at 6:27 pm
If your an atheist you should know about all of the shit the catholic church has done to earn the label. My question is how do catholics justify it. I mean the must if there willing to protect members of the clergy from the authorities. Is there anything in there dogma that suggests its justified in the catholic faith. I know god chose to knock up a preteen with baby Jesus but that's pretty much all I know that would justify it in there eyes.
Links to evidence please.

Hard to take you seriously, but I’ll have a go.
They don’t ‘justify’ it. They hide it, conceal it, and use the institutional mechanisms of the Church to cover it up and protect the abusers. This is how we know they know it’s wrong - if there was a dogma that allowed it, they wouldn’t take the trouble to hide it.

If there were a dogma, they would go to bed at night satisfied with the previous days work and begin to jubilantly dream of the next.

They ignore it, blame the victims, some leave Catholicism and join some other denomination.
It's part of hypnosis and they are hardly the only ones--like how do Scientologists justify all the lies and abuse in Scientology? Or Muslims, or Mormons, etc.
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"

I think the catholics (and other christians) CYA with the original sin belief.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
