Am I the only person who thinks the Catholic Church may have gotten fucked with the pedo scandals?
It's an anecdote, but I know a couple Catholics who quit, and were quite vocal that it was the cover-up going all the way up to the top that made them lose faith. It wasn't just US bishops listening to bad legal advice. JP2 himself intervened to protect Bernard Law from facing trial by whisking him away to the Vatican before law enforcement had a warrant for his arrest.
 
We really need to focus on rebuilding high-trust society and PUNISHING with EXTREME PREJUDICE
That's not how you rebuild a high-trust society. That's how you destroy one.

If you're too fucking stupid to understand, this is how you incentivize people ratting each other out. In our current society, after what happened in COVID, I would think it didn't need explaining. Fucking retards.

That's very obviously not what was said.

i never said that, i said that the reason people want to hold churches to a higher standard in my view as a christian is because we claim to be beholden to the highest standard-bearer of them all, and teachers do not. nowhere in my explanation about my views on this did i say that teachers shouldn't or can't be held to a higher standard. i actively advocated for parental oversight of teachers directly in the classroom earlier along with other people.

Because you implied it and the reddit "akshually I didnt outright say it" is fucking stupid. Again you have a very modern view of things and it's why rampant abuse in schools, synagogues, the church, etc. will continue in the future
 
DOGE is really just decolonizing the federal government if you think about it. All these Government departments and bureaucrats are just neo-colonizers of the day. We are returning to tribal ways of knowing where the government does not have as firm of a grasp on your life.

We are becoming unburdened by what has been.

This might explain the push towards liberation theology and the election of a South American, Jesuit Pope; i.e. weird church politics have gone on behind the scenes for decades.

How much, "we agree with you, all pedos should be dumped in a river with a millstone around their neck and we should bring the legal standard in line with Christ's standard" will be enough for you??
 
Catholic priests do not diddle more than any other group that is commonly in a trusted position around children such as doctors or teachers. It's true that rather than quietly move the pedo's around they should have quietly introduced them all to a woodchiper, but the public perception of pedo priests is out of line with reality. There are many cases of schools, unions, and basically any organization that you could think of covering up the sexual assault allegations for their members. The key difference is that the Catholic church has morals and so it's faithful expected more of them and it's enemies saw it as an opportunity to attack. This many years after the crisis when the church has done so much to introduce safeguards to prevent similar circumstances from occurring again, I believe that most people who bring it up are just looking for a way to attack the church because they don't like that it stands by it's teachings, especially with regards to abortion and homosexuality, rather than because they are actually concerned about children.
That's absolute bullshit. What happened was back in the day, the Catholic Church not being allowed to marry, became an absolute paradise and haven for fags. The gays flocked to the Catholic Church because they couldn't get married and had plausible deniability now for why they're unmarried men. Instead of being ostracized from society and being looked at as weird, they were free to be who they were without arousing suspicion. The Diddlers were in the same boat as the fags and took the same route, and often fags were also often diddlers. So they all wound up becoming priests because it was a convenient societal scapegoat for them. You see the reality is, you can't just execute every diddler and they're not a diddler until they get caught. So these people needed somewhere to go to give them a convenient excuse for not being social outcasts and many became priests.

Back in the 70s, the Catholic Church started to realize there half their congregation of priests were diddlers and fags except now they couldn't get rid of them. They weren't just half, they were an overwhelming majority. They had a real problem on their hands because these people just had nowhere else to go. Seriously ask yourself, how many men are going to forego their biological need for sex and marriage with a woman for priesthood? Not many, unless it's easy for them. For fags and diddlers, yeah it's easy for them to do that. That's why the Catholic Church spent so much time covering up sexual abuse. It's not that they cared about Father John so much they'd cover up him diddling Little Timmy, they covered it up because they didn't want the whole narrative getting out. Many Priests were pedos who never touched anyone. But some of them did, enough that the Vatican was concerned. They didn't want people knowing that most their priesthood was made up of fags and diddlers.

actually, you fucking nigger, i didn't imply anything. i explained very clearly what i was talking about, and things i didn't say were not the things i didn't say. don't apply your projection to me.

kill yourself, faggot.

If you are efficient and not wasting money you will be fine
none of these organizations ever had to feel consequences for any of their actions, including spending, since basically their inception. they are genuinely terrified that dad came home with both milk and a brand new belt.

none, because he's the embodiment of dishonest argument for the sake of spiting someone religious. fuck him and his niggerdom.

Breaking News, October 27, 2028:

Reports from anonymous sources who are familiar with the Biden household are reporting that Presidental candidate Joseph Robinette Biden is down on the floor in his Delaware home.

When reached for comment, his wife Dr. Jill Biden said "Don't be silly, he's just doing the Dinosaur! I'm a Doctor, I would know!"

However, anonymous Biden staffers dispute Dr. Jill's account, stating, "He is NOT doing the Dinosaur, he's just laying there twitching...um...um...the twitching stopped. Can we call a REAL doctor now?"

The former President was unavailable for comment at the time of this post.
It's bad luck to rename a ship, just scrap it. They also need to stike the planned Clinton and Obama ships and rename them.
I learned from reading The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwell that all the Navy needs to do is get a virgin to piss in the bilge to avert the bad luck and then it's no problem. Oh, wait---OH. OH, ok. Yeah better just scrap it.
