The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.

Yeah but is there a central leader for for teachers?
There is for Catholics. They’re all pederasts. Or at least comfortable with pederasts
It’s not like the pope or the catholic leadership is encouraging pedophiles. They’ve covered things up that happened, but it’s pretty wild to act like it’s some kind of pedo ring.
Covering thins like that up, is encouraging pedophiles. It let’s pedos know that it’s safe for them on the church.
There is a difference between wanting to deal with things internally without involving authorities, and actively promoting pedophilia. But I’m not here to go to bat for Catholics, I’m just pointing out the difference.
I feel like the distinction starts to get pretty blurry when “dealing with things internally without authorities” mostly just means covering stuff up and protecting predators, but yeah they don’t literally advertise to pedophiles
Hahahaha yeah ok.
Hundreds of millions of dollars spent to silence the countless victims of their systematic abuse but they’re not a pedo ring. lol
😂
I guess I would define a pedophile ring as an organization whose purpose is to abuse children.
Do you really think a pedophile ring would publicly advertise as such?
Hold on, you seriously believe that the purpose of the catholic church is to promote pedophilia?
Your choice of using the word “promote” is interesting, I would not have chosen it as their intent is to hide it.
The catholic church has certainly protected pedophiles for hundreds of years, so that is a function they perform very well.
That dumbass really isn’t living up to the username.
Bingo! You described Catholicism!!! And all religions. Actually!!!
Religion is child abuse. Catholics actually systematically rape the kids too.
Not sure if you are just being an edge lord or if you are a moron.
/u/OccamsRazer suggest that based on my anti theistic perspective I’m either “pretending to be edgy” or “functionally stupid” but they can’t tell which.
The concept of Occam’s razor would suggest that I’m offering an earnest opinion which that user cannot wrap their head around because they lack the faculties required to consider my opinion
It’s ironic.
A name like that and you can’t even see the simple explanation.
TLDR: if you’re struggling to understand what someone says and you try to dismiss it as “garbage” or “idiocy” but unable to figure out which, the simple explanation is your brain isn’t ready for this.
Bro the irony… you don’t understand religion but happily assume that it’s about pedophilia. I think you got a hard on for hating religion and have a hard time seeing anything else.
I do have a hard on for hating religion.
That doesn’t mean I’m wrong when I say that the Catholic Church is a safe haven for pedophiles and the largest and oldest continuous pedophile ring
All Catholics who paid tithes are complicit as those tithes were used to silence the victims of that abuse.
Did they make a movie about Catholic Church raping kids systematically? Have them made more than one? Are there literally millions of victims all over the world?
Go take your religious apologism to stupider people they might say “yeah that doesn’t make sense but I guess it does”
Me I tell it like it is. Get mad if you need to. Doesn’t change a damn thing.
Cheers mate. Best wishes. They’re as effective as prayers.
