What Should Be Done With Paedophile Clergy?

Funny you should say that. Where exactly in today's society is there still a real taboo concerning porn? And access to "normal" porn certainly doesn't satisfy a pedophile.

 

here is paul on sexual immorality:

1corinthians 5:3,5

For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgement in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ on the one who has been doing this. ... hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

So yea, they should be excommunicated for the rest of their life and persecuted according to criminal laws, which means a prison sentence as well. Then perhaps they will be spared on the day of judgement. (i guess since they did their penance in this life for their mistake)

 

Prosecuted by each individual countries law to the fullest extent.

 

I think that they should go to Hell. Immediately.

 

Such people should be immediately reported to the police, so that they may dealt with legally and the scriptural recommendation to "Remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves" (1 Corinthians 5:13) should followed.

 

sex and reproductio is our strongest natural urge. psychologically its probably our strongest motivator. its also completely natural. suppressing these urges is what causes all the problems.

i think the churches views on sex are ass backwards and havent changed since the dark ages. the churches stance on sexuality is what is creating the problem.

 

castrate them...they will never be able to anything again with their serpents....lol

No, it is not a funny matter here.

 

let them fuck the nuns, kill 2 birds with one stone.

 

lol why??

 

Drop their pants & let a lamb nurse on them. Problem solved.

 

Do away with the wholly un-natural thing of celibate clergy and there would probably be a lot less cases.

Those who are caught should be detained until it's deemed that they no longer pose a threat.

 

Apples and Oranges. Abstaining due to being clergy has nothing to do with people becoming clergy in order to act out on pedophilia.

Pedophiles seek professions or surroundings that give them access to targets. That some choose this profession to do so it not surprising. Abstaining does not make someone have a tendency or perversion that is not already there.

The "churches" need to address the issue and encourage and support the prosecution of those who are pedophiles within their organization. They need to stop the deniability that has been prevalent in the past. They need to acknowledge and assist those who have been molested and make restitution for that.

 

allow them to babysit the politicians children..

 

Now I understand why there's a separation between state and church ....

 

The thing that strikes me is that it's nearly always Catholic clergy that are involved in abuse. Protestant clergy who are allowed to have a normal sexual relationship hardly ever figure in these stories.

I'm not sure that artificial sexual repression can't lead to perverse acts - I think in some cases it might. Sex is a powerful force of nature, and if you go against nature - well, it can lead to all sorts of madness.

 

I think catholic clergy have a peculiar relationship with the parish in the form of acolytes which are a minor order of roman Catholicism so the peculiarity is not the result of sexual repression but as Heat suggests acts of pedophilia are a matter of opportunity and access.

 

Here is what the master says on judging. I do not judge him, he has his own judge. All the same woe comes to those who bring any of these little ones to harm as they face certain revulsion from those who respect innocence.

 

I'm not exactly sure what you mean dope. Do you mean that younger males destined for the priesthood are abused by existing priests and thus they perpetuate a tradition of abuse?

I'm not disagreeing with Heat that paedophiles seek to get to work around children, I know that.

And I guess this whole celibacy thing gives them a good cover. Still, I think the whole celibacy thing in general that is enforced rather than chosen is a recipe for trouble.

 

I mean the church structure gives unprecedented and secretive priest acolyte contact and the acolytes are exclusively male. Celibacy is a matter of personal comfort and while it may foster personal conflict I don't think it sponsors societal challenges. I think to make the comparison that celibacy naturally leads to distorted activity is like saying if you masturbate you will go blind. I would also point out that those who engage in sexual activity are not in fact celibate, enforced or otherwise.
