Reply to comment by HarryHacker42 in Defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy still runs charity for kids by kangarooturd

>The church takes over the investigation

What part of "the police are supposed to handle people breaking the law" did you not understand?

It's like no shit if you go to Burger King and tell them "The gas pump station stole my money at Conoco!" they're not gonna do anything about it. Why is this such a hard concept?

You're basing a bunch of your vile on stupid people not reporting something illegal to the ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. It's honestly really weird.

Also, since this apparently has to be said; THE CHURCH DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF ACQUIRING FORENSIC EVIDENCE TO PROVE/DISPROVE ACCUSATIONS. That's what the legal system is for.

The premise of your entire claim is completely flawed in every single way.

I'm saying it happened ALL the time, which is why the Church paid out millions. The Church should stay the hell out of it. They don't have the ability to investigate, but they did, and then they did the priest. Are you unaware of history? Did you miss the list of payouts the church did for this?

Here is over a decade of payout after payout, over a billion dollars:

Is due to morons not doing anything right. It has nothing to do with the church. Because the church does not convict criminals. How many times do I have to say that????

>The Church should stay the hell out of it.

If you mean they should stay out of law enforcement, I agree. Because thats what the legal system is for.

>Here is over a decade of payout after payout, over a billion dollars:

And that averages about 8 victims a year. 8 victims out of.... 463,634 per year.

The church has ~ 8. Out of 463,634.

Now of course is anything over 0 bad? Absolutely. But you're acting like the church has a monopoly on it. And it's quite obvious that 8 out of 463,634 is nowhere near being a large portion,the main culprit, or even moderately responsible for the majority of those acts.
