It is bonkers to me that people give so much authority to the catholic church. If they were doing the right thing the child diddling pieces of Fluffle Puff were in jail and excommunicated.

@adiwan Now remember, it's all about ~fOrGiVeNeSs~ when you hurt someone else, and ~RETRIBUTION~ if someone hurts you ;-)

@scribus Ah yes! What about paying for small pieces of paper to be forgiven? Skips the step to have a person that forgives.

@adiwan Most of the diddlers have in fact been investigated and excommunicated, last pope did a lot of that. A lot are also just dead. There have been less priest-related CSA incidents in 100 years worldwide than there are REPORTED cases of non-church-related CSA in the USA (a single country) per year.

@scribus the accursed Lutheran strikes again

@nerthos Sounds great! I was not very informed or I forgot the news about that. I guess my avoidance of religious news is the culprit.

@nerthos Plus, the vast majority of said CSA cases happened in the 60s and 70s. At the same time hippies were taking 14 year olds to concerts and giving them drugs to sleep with them, Michel Focault (of marginality theory fame) was leading a political movement to remove age of consent laws in France, and universities worldwide taught that you should do LSD and pedophilia was actually a very good thing for the kid's development.
It was a plainly insane era, objectively the most predatory and abusive of the XX century except for maybe Weimar Germany.
