FFS, this is gas. Now you are claiming these people just were annoyed with their teacher. Would you afford the same to a Priest, of course you wouldnāt you utter hypocrite.
Itās not a Dutch historian either, you clearly didnāt bother to read. You didnāt have a rashers about this last night and have been busily researching all day to try and
Iāll call Pearse a nonce if I want, if it were a priest you wouldnāt be so quick to defend.
Thatās on my bucket list I have to say. When I was living in Chicago I used to frequent St Vincents in DePaul University. Lovely church, right in the centre of Campus.
I think youāre giving the church more credit than it deserves. Is it not the case that, under pontifical secrecy, a member of the church could be excommunicated for reporting these horrible crimes?
Thereās a lot to be said for paganism all the same.
I said āthe historian quoted in the Irish Times article (Joost Augusteijn)ā. This lad:
By all accounts he has written the definitive biography to date on Pearse, havenāt read it, but it has been very well reviewed.
I would give the benefit of the doubt to any pedophile until they abuse, then they have to be locked up, plain and simple, as there is no ācureā and the evidence says once they abuse they continue to abuse. However, there are millions of pedophiles who donāt abuse and yes I would give them the benefit of the doubt, whether they are priests, popes, whatever. Pedophiles can do no more about their sexual preference and desires than a homosexual, heterosexual or any other orientation. However, protecting them and enabling them to abuse further is unconscionable, except for the Catholic organization apparently which is above the law.
