    What should be done with paedophile clergy? I think they should not be totally ex-communicated but sent out bush. Jesus went bush after he was baptised.

    1) Majority of those who are guilty are not paedophiles proper, commiting heinous acts against post-pubescant minors around 15-17 years old.

    2) Out to bush? huh...

    3) They are laicized. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/17/pope-benedict-defrocked-400-priests-child-abuse

    But does the church so love God that it's presence in the world can overwhelm the need for Love? The need for Love would focus upon the subjective understanding for coming back to Him whenever He is sought. The Worldly seeks justice for itself independently and objectively as Goodness by the being of God all powerful and demanding of proving there-in your Liberal identity. The worldly only shows that once there was doubt in God, and again there is a new sort of doubt to overcome. Thus it is the need for Love which loves the church through the more wroldy virtues of fortune, privacy, and fortitude. [​IMG]

    Treat them like the common criminals they are. And don't let them within 500 feet of an altar boy!

    Then they'll know that the world's care of love for God was never anything more than a sacrifice to achieve by the church.

    If you try to cut the chaff out of the wheat you cut down the wheat as well. There are no common criminals. there are individual behaviors. Behaviors are not natures. There is only one ascendant morality and that is self interest. All acts are either love or the call for it. If we provide what is needed there are no desperate behaviors.

    Virtually none of this is true.

    Well, what is true; The behaviour occurs in a controlled environment like a hospital. Either paedophiles or sick people in Donetsk Ukraine may end up there, in all goodness.

    When you write "I like this." Is that true? And what was false may have been more likeable.

    There is also "too true". We may have cared too much for the distrusted institutions. Heaven and Hell are the last left vestibules of proof for the values of science teaching morality. "Heaven and hell" is at last resort anyway the difference for deciding the moral course.

    ONe CAN like it very well when it's too true; one can enjoy life without the gas of a brave new world's wedding.

    I've never voted in my life but I'd vote to euthanize anyone that takes any organized religion seriously, pedophile or not. I really hope that it doesn't come to that and the religious freaks wipe each other out while the environment can still support human life though.

    Religious idiots and statists are a plague on humanity that will end up killing us all if not dealt with, promptly.

    Probably not going to make a lot of friends airing those thoughts out but the people I may offend arguably aren't real people, they're bald monkey slave drones... so screw it.

    Maybe if pornography was no so taboo in mainstream society and these clergy had ready accedes to porn they may have not done their awful deed.

    Because paedophilia is more mainstream?
    It's either their sexual preference or a need for power, it sickens me.
