The problem is that the RCC itself doesnt respect "the sanctity of confession." They have used the information revealed to remove predators from high-income, high-visibility areas and move them to places where they can rape kids & no one will know. ie., Places that oversee native/indigenous kids.

The RCC didn't turn a blind eye to the issue: the knowingly and intentionally promoted it by moving child molesters to oversee kids, as well as bribing and manipulating officials to allow it to continue.

This isn't just a Washington issue. The same modus operandi has been going on across the world, for as long as there are records.

edit: spelling

This is a very common kind of post bad faith actors will put out. I call it a what-me-worry post. It's designed to downplay the issue, as well as putting the burden of proof back on the ones exposing the crimes.

Other variants: Are cops really that violent? How come I've never heard of climate change before this? What makes trump so bad, cant we just forget about him?

1- If you wanted to comment, you'd make you own thread, instead of commenting on mine. Why bother?

2- The only thing of value you've said on this thread is your claim that "the CC supports it." That was several replies ago. Your signal-to-noise ratio lays heavily on the noise side.

3- If you want to give me a link about the CCs attitude towards the bill, I'd like to read it.

All you've done is made a comment about a bill that was introduced two weeks ago. Do you have a source for that "factual information"? You could have posted it by now, you know.

Then why not just post the links? Why bother replying to some random redditor? You sound like someone with a hidden agenda.

So? You wrote a very bad sentence, something that I took at face value, and gave you the reasons why I read it that way. You don't like it? Then learn how to write.

Huh. So even though there has been no hearings on this bill, that it hasn't even been presented to a committee, you claim that "no church testified against it." Since that doesn't make sense, and I assumed you were here in good faith and actually read my post, it was logical to conclude that you were talking about the failed bill on pregnancy crisis centers.

No, when the bill came up to regulate pregnancy crisis centers (ie, force them to tell the truth and not lie to ypung mothers), Catholic groups lined up to fight it. Which isnt surprisong since most of them are run by the RCC.

It didnt pass, thanks to them.

The churches will come out in force against this, like they did when they fought for the right to lie to pregnant women through pregnancy centers. (They won, btw.)
