This makes me so, so angry. I was and remain a child and adolescent of abuse and I have never, nor will I ever abuse a child in any way at all. How is it that I have never become a paedophile or an abuser? Simple. That sh*t stops with me. :hatred: :hatred:
The man is just WRONG. Desires may be innate, but behavior is CHOSEN.
Otherwise, no one on earth is responsible for ANYTHING they do, ever, and we can close down all jails tomorrow.

I agree. I see he's tried to 'walk back' his comments saying that he was taken out of context but I'd prefer it if someone punched this stupid idiot in the chops.

A big part of the definition of being "human". :thumbup:
The quotation about the Church policy of covering up for paedophiles, if proven, is a horrendous crime in itself. Absolutely inexcusable. :hatred:
Oof. Vatican, you really need to stop rationalizing this s**t.
This makes me physically ill.....and I despise someone who would try and justify such evil. :hatred:
