Once again our friendly church and our children

It never seems to go away does it?

But I'm sure we can sweep it under the rug again the church is good at that.

You can thank God for pedophiles.

The best thing about pedophiles is that they slow down near schools

sad to see...but the priests I know, I would have absolutely NO PROBLEM with them being around my kids. NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER!!!

Interesting, my Mother who is in the church and is very religious thought the same about the priests at my school, my brother was rapped by the priest there and she still continues to believe in them JEESH

By the way my brother never was the same after that and to this very day not all that well.

So does that mean all priests are pedophiles?

Hopefully not bro... but how do you know which are and which are not?

I guess you could take a drive and see how fast he goes by a school.....

If I had a small child I would not want to take the chance come on its your child!!

Sure, but you could say the same for anyone. I used to know a guy who worked as a store attendant. Guy bowled in my league, seemed nice and down to earth. One day, I saw his name on a sex offender list. The difference is his offense didn't make big news. I didn't see it in the paper, or if it was, I'm sure it didn't say "Store attendant arrested for molestation". But if the offender is a priest, you can be sure that will be well publicized.

It should be they are in a position that should be public because of trust

You can't live that way (IMO).

I know a guy, who robbed a bank in central Indiana and got as far as Tennessee before the police caught up with him. The police pulled him over and a roadside gunfight ensued. The police shot the guy, he lived and is now in prison. You are a guy, should I assume that you could be a bank robbing, police shooting thug? Or for that matter a pedophile, meth head, pig fucker, etc? Afterall there are guys who do those things as well.

Everyone trusted the guy I knew who ended up being an offender. Always seems to be the trusted uncle who does vile acts. Same as the priest is trusted. They should all be punished to the fullest, but that doesn't mean one's crime is more newsworthy than the others.
