I need to note, though, that the organization that actually has a deeper and more systemic problem with this is the Boy Scouts of America. More than 82,000 victims have been recorded. I urge people to look up the information on this or, better yet, watch the new documentary on Netflix, Scouts Honor, which provides in-depth analysis of the problem and the litigation.

I know Catholic-bashing is a "THING" ON dcum, but there is plenty of evidence of widespread abuse by other groups including private schools, the Southern Baptist Convention, and strong Jewish communities who refuse to involve police authorities. If you're looking for groups to hate, you have quite a choice.

1. Posting an article about a Catholic priest arrested for sexual assault is not "Catholic-bashing".

2. The Catholic Church has been in existence for 1,900+ years longer than the Boy Scouts of America. Pretty sure the church has a "deeper and more systemic" problem than BSA. And countless more victims.

The only reason this piece of news was posted here was so people can pick up where they left off last time airing their grievances with the Church. That is the point.

DP and not a Catholic.

Yep, when op starts threads about abuse in a synagogue in Syracuse or somewhere equally distant, I’ll believe they’re serious about stamping out pedophilia.

Until then, there’s a definite pattern of anti-Catholic bigotry, and linking it to pedophilia is a socially-acceptable way of being a bigot—until people see your pattern.

did a synagogue in Syracuse have to declare bankruptcy and pay $100mil to victims of child abuse? must have missed that.

Is that actually what you think?

Yes because I missed the discussion about the Long Island teacher arrested. It just happened too. Why isn't our resident child protector starting posts on this guy as well if they are so disgusted by this particular crime? A teacher was arrested. Should we disband public high schools? Did the OP of this post also start a post on this one? If not, why not?

Some of us have personal reasons to be concerned about pedophelia. That’s precisely why we believe your behavior is so damaging: you’re identifying yourself as a bigot and, by doing so, you’re making everything about yourself and your bigotry instead of about the pedophelia.

Perhaps you don’t want news like this to be overshadowed by people’s’ perceptions that you’re an attention-seeking bigot. If you’re sincere, you’d start weekly posts in DCUM’s schools fora about the latest pedophile teachers in Des Moines and Syracuse. Without that, we understand that you’re just a run-of-the-mill bigot who uses news like this to stir up online attention to yourself.

The bigot is NOT the one denouncing pedophila in the church... Take a look in the mirror - it's clearly you.

Why are you pointing out "in the church" is pedophilia accepted elsewhere? Why does the location or religious leaning interest you so very much? Don't you denounce pedophilia wherever it occurs?

Certainly, but that's not what this thread is about? This thread is about a CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO ABUSED CHILDREN. Do you need assistance keeping your threads clear?

Ok, do you denounce teachers when one is arrested for pedophilia? Down with teachers?

If all the other teachers conspired to silence the victim, protect the pedophile and lie to the entire world then absolutely I would.

That's just not the case in these one-offs.

I'm with you on BSA though.

Nothing like using all caps to alert everyone that you are an exceedingly annoying person.

Well isn't that what this thread is about? This priest and this instance? Why are you trying to tie it back to decades ago? Pick a lane.

We actually don't know that yet, but hopefully it comes out at the trial. Right now, all we know is a young woman reported her experiences to the police, theyve arrested him and he's plead not guilty. If there were any collusion or church involvement we will likely hear about it.

I think we do know. The girl told her mom about all this in June 2023. The arrest happened pretty swiftly after, no? At what point would there have been unsuccessful collusion or involvement?

The incidents happened to her starting 2019 (i think thats what it said). It also said she saw concerning incidents with other people. Who knows what they (church) know/knew about it. It also says the lawyer for the priest refused to answer if he was hired by the church or by the defendant himself.

Also, she told her mom because she saw him being inappropriate with other girls. How does an 18-year-old see someone be inappropriate with girls all the adults standing around don’t.

She didn't say anything until 2023. She told her mom, her mom took action. The police made an arrest. This is how things are supposed to work.
