And in the same way God is allowed to have double standards and disobey the rules he set for humanity, Christian leadership is held to a lower standard and allowed to get away with things like pedophilia by the members of their church.
It does make sense that God would be allowed to break rules, its kind of like how a parent doesnt have the same rules as their kids. And no on in a church is allowed to be a pedo, if that happens that is seem by very bad by all the people.
I think what it is are they are friends and their friends promise to never do it again and they dont want to ruin their lives. It is a universal thing and not just a religous thing but we news stories about what is supposed to be a safe place sell more papers.
Yes. It’s much more than just “friends” backing each other. Many times they’ll still have to face the elders of the church or similar things but it is nearly always handled in the church meaning they’re kicked out of something possibly until they repent. The police are very often never involved.
I am guessing that we are talking about the catholic church, and I could be wrong because I dont know about their rules, but I dont believe they would have rule not severely punishing or sending to police pedos. I would guess they catagorized it as someone who broke a rule, not committed a crime.
Please read up on it. I’m sure now they do have that policy, but…it was an extremely widespread problem, literally all over the world. Any claim that they’ve fixed the problem is going to be met with skepticism for a long time, and rightly so. They worked HARD to hide it.
I do think the Catholic church was right about one thing - it likely happened in other churches as well.
That is a long wiki page, you will need to point to the part you are referring to.
If you want to point to institutions with pedo problem, then you should look at government schools which have much more than churches. But I think this is more about ragging on religious institutions than actually understanding what is happening.
The whole page is the point. You don’t seem to be very informed on the situation; you claimed it was just a few friends. I was trying to tell you it was a systemic issue, and the long page is evidence of that.
I’m guessing you’re religious and trying to avoid facing the fact that religions do bad things, too. Well, guess what? They do.
“Ragging on religious institutions” lol. Seems like you just want to bury your head in the sand.
I’ve scrolled through your comments and realize now you’re a Trump fan, so I now realize I’ve been wasting my time. There’s no point in trying to explain something to Trump fans, you guys are beyond help. And I’m guessing your “government school” comment is referring to the (insane, untrue) claims that schools indoctrinate kids to be trans or whatever the hell they are claiming today. So, don’t bother replying, I’m just going to add you to my block list, and I won’t see it any way.
Trump fans. Just keep drinking that Flavor-Aid. Still supporting that jackass after all of the stupid shit he has done. The “party of law and order” supporting churches that covered up pedophiles for years. Insane.
And yes, he is racist. If you think otherwise, you’re burying your head in the sand, again.

Unfortunately some churches have a reputation for covering up the crime and not punishing the perpetrator.
It’s one thing for the crime to happen; it’s much worse when a bunch of people decide to hide it.

Uh, it was more of an institutional policy. That’s why it was such a scandal.
