Conn. bishops urge parishes to fight new sex abuse law

Fuck this shit.

I fail to get how you can follow Jesus and not do your best to protect children, something he preached on.

Actually this makes me so sad. I've seen some cases where Catholics have left the church over this corruption and other stuff. It breaks my heart that people leave not because they don't believe anymore but because of the sickness on the very system. This is personal for me because I've been raped as a child but I can't imagine what it must feel like to see this happening from a place that you once had a place in your heart for, you know?

Dunno if I could handle it tbh.

My husband told me about this and my jaw dropped. Don't they realize they already have an image problem?

I DON'T GET HOW A CHURCH WHOSE GOD WAS ALL ABOUT PROTECTING CHILDREN IS PROTECTING CHILD RAPISTS.

[a_white_rain]

I really wish Jesus would come and like... yell at all the leadership that's getting children raped.

[a_white_rain]

I swear, I think they're trying to self-destruct.
Sometimes I fucking wonder.

I saw that. NO. JUST NO.

I have repeatedly asked people what they thought Jesus meant when said specifically that people who hurt little children should kill themselves, and that they will not be seeing him in heaven.

"Oh...well...he didn't REALLY mean that. See, if you ask for FORGIVENESS it's all ok..."

Yea, I don't see that myself...

[a_white_rain]

YES THERE IS THE FORGIVENESS STUFF BUT THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE YOU FROM NOT RAPING CHILDREN.

[chaeri]

Yes, exactly. Also, to ask for forgiveness and mean it you have to admit that those priests ACTUALLY did something wrong, and it wasn't the fault of anyone except the pervert priest.

Also pretty sure that attempting to make up and learn from your mistakes was something Jesus was A+++ with.
