Am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

This sort of polemic does no one any good. Acusing the RC church of systematic child abuse is plain silly. No one in their right mind believes that the church in any way ordered or planned the abuse of children.

The accusation normally leveled against the church is that they covered it up and ignored it. Here I also disagree with the view that they did anything wrong. The church is not a police force and has no investigatory or disciplinary powers. If I am accused of a crime it is not my employers responsibility to investigate it or punish me (and yes I accept that they have a responsibility to co-operate fully with a legal investigation and that the RC church most likely did not do this).

We have a police force and a courts system to investigate and punish wrong-doers - if these cases were not investigated then look to those whose job it was to do this.

Pocari - why do you make me do this?

The obviously still haven't read the charter so now I have to make you disappear for a while again. You can come back maybe in a week if you can convince me of a reason why.

Bye bye.

Its your message board baby.
The bible doesn't mention dinosaurs because they'd died out when it was written.

Dinosaurs died out 75 million years ago.
The bible is max 5000 years old.
