93% of of Catholic priests were NOT accused of child sex crimes.

However, the references to canon law and “rules of the Catholic Church”, and the “limited capacity of canon law to discipline offending priests” raises the real problem with the Catholic Church.

How dare they even dream that their piddling internal 'laws' should be dealing with serious crimes committed by their personnel! What other organisation in a rule-of-law country thinks that it is proper for it to deal with matters which, legally, should be referred to police? No wonder some churchmen are ambivalent towards the introduction of Islamic sharia law.

There is the ethos of Christianity, then there is organised Christianity. There is a gap between the two.

The only religion or way of life which ever way you see it is budist. All religions need banning and abolished from the face of the earth.

Pure and Infallible Catholic Orders should remain confident that only a minority are charged, and fewer gaoled, for their activities against the young.

The Pope, in any case is infallible [1] in making sure no incriminating details escape vaults of records in the Vatican. Records of the suspicions-of and crimes-of the man-Priests and man-Brothers against the young.

It would play on the minds of the worshippers who, in Total, place $Billions in hard earned collection monies toward the Gold Edged Glory of the Vatican

That being the Vatican that, naturally imposes Vows of Poverty on those outside the Vatican Walls. Are those who count the $Billions still unfit or are they too powerful?

it seems like the biggest critics of the Catholic church are now pushing the grooming ' safe schools' program. Have the sacked paedophile priests joined the education department?

The curse inflicted onto society by homosexuals, is what goes unchallenged in any debate on the subject of child sexual abuse inside institutions in Australia.

Dealing more ruthlessly with homosexuals in society would be a positive approach to solving this dilemma .

You would know runner.
