    Yes I hope, just like you hope sociopaths and criminals still go to confession when its mandated law for the priest to rat you out even for faintest hints of a past crime.

    IT IS NOT WITHIN OUR POWER TO FORCE PRIESTS TO STOP ABUSE IN THIS CONTEXT. PRIESTS ARE AS LIKELY TO COMPLY NOW AS WITH THE LAW IN PLACE. THIS IS JUST AN EXCUSE TO PROSECUTE CATHOLIC PRIESTS TO FUND POLICE AND PRIVATE PRISONS.

      YES, if that crime is RAPING CHILDREN I kinda think they should be ratting out the PEDOPHILES otherwise they’re simply giving them time and space to do it again and again.
