I generally agree that the media has greatly overblown the issue, but it appears that the rot runs much deeper than any of us realised. The news coming out of France recently was horrific – anywhere between 216,000 and 330,000 children abused over 70 years by between 2,900 and 3,200 priests, which amounts to roughly one abuser per 70 victims.

I have no hard data on what the general rate of sexual abuse of children is within the broader population. But, if those numbers are even halfway accurate – and, given that an independent inquiry came up with them, they likely are – then several thousand priests, and all of their enablers, deserve impalement and an eternity burning in Hell for what they’ve done.

You’re both correct.

Yes, the errors of Vatican II let homos infiltrate the Church. However, the media has blown the scandals sky-high. You are 4 times more likely to be molested inside a public school or in organized youth sports than inside a church. You will never be told this, however, because the media is on the side of Satan.

If you’re +3.33 SD, you’re one in millions.

Respectfully: that’s highly unlikely.

How do you know the scandal wasn’t almost entirely, or even entirely, fabricated?

And even if it’s only “almost entirely”, after you subtract-out the homos and other Evil infiltraters who were there specifically to commit heinous acts in order to destroy the Church, then the number of actual crimes becomes practically zero.

I’m no expert in physiognomy, but he actually has some strong features in his facial structure. The trouble is that what comes out of his mouth, greatly reduces the impression that his features would give him otherwise.

Wasn’t the Catholic priests “scandal” almost entirely fabricated?

No, it assuredly was NOT “almost entirely fabricated”. The problem is actually endemic across every single Christian denomination – including the Baptists in the USA and the Eastern Orthodox Church in Russia and Greece. The scale of abuse there is POSSIBLY not quite as bad as it is in the Catholic Church – though I have no hard numbers to make a proper comparison, so I refrain from drawing any conclusions – because the Catholics made the unfortunate and very stupid decision after Second Vatican to allow homosexuals to take up orders.

Of all of the dumb things that the Catholic Church has done over the centuries – and in spite of my respect for the Catholic Church, and the fact that I prefer to pray in a Catholic church over almost any other kind, I will state openly that the Catholic Church has done MANY dumb and anti-Christian things in its time – this decision was right up there among the dumbest ever. Homosexuals should NEVER have been allowed into the clergy, under ANY circumstances, and any homosexual clergyman in ANY denomination needs to be defrocked and required to do penance.

Homosexuals can worship God just like the rest of us, but they are among the only sinners that openly idolise their own sin and define themselves by it. That is their downfall and cause of their damnation.

And wasn’t any possible tiny proportion that was not fabricated actually implemented intentionally by infiltraters (mostly Wicked crypto-Jews) in order to destroy The Church from within?

Given that the Catholic Church has strayed FAR from its actual role as the defender of the faith under even stalwart Christians like Pope Bl. John Paul II – just read what he wrote about how salvation can come through any faith, rather than solely through the acceptance of the free gift of salvation through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus upon the Cross – I don’t think they need any help whatsoever in destroying their own church.

At uni was told range 130-150. And that makes me, folks, a little too smart to get grants and have a highly successful career.

Yeah. From what I’ve seen of late, the 140+ IQ types actually don’t end up in the hard sciences anymore, for the most part. They end up in finance instead – which in some ways is an even worse outcome, but at least they get paid for it.

Now THAT I did not know. You’re right – he couldn’t be more swampy even if he dressed up in a ghillie suit and did a show from the depths of the Everglades.
