Condemn the sin. Love the sinner. This must always be the way of Christians. It is the way of Christ.

Condemn the sin. Love the sinner.

Trouble is, groups like Dignity USA and CFFC don't even want us to condemn the sin.

Condemn the sin. Love the sinner.

You mean, as long as the sinner is loving somebody elses son.

But when your son is the victim (or the 2d or 3d or nth victim) this platitude takes on a whole new meeting. Why should the RCC love the victims any less than the sinner? Do the Bishops and Cardinals show compassion for the faithful by continually recycling these predators into unsuspecting parishes?

The problem has less to do with the sinner than with a church hierarchy that is more concerned with protecting their own while continuing to put other children in harms way.

One can love the sinner just well when he is in jail.
