For Catholics only [View All]

I'm an atheist, but I have many religious friends, including some very nice Catholics. I fully support America's freedom of religion, and I try to respect people of all stripes.

What would be so wrong with the Catholic church making an official announcement that all future priest pedophiles be immediately removed, banned, arrested, and never allowed to be around kids again?

I guess I just don't understand why they're not condemning these monsters and eliminating once and for all priests who sexually abuse kids. And I don't understand how bringing up this awful subject is somehow 'Catholic bashing', and why certain posts on the subject get locked.

When are the cardinals and bishops and popes going to finally get a handle on these sex perverts?

What if it were your own Catholic kids?

I know that pedophilia isn't limited to Catholics, but about half the people in the world now think of Catholic priests as threats to their own children.

I'd really like to hear from some devout Catholics concerning these atrocities against kids.
