It was close to midnight Sunday when Woodburn (Oregon) resident James Curths saw the 12-year-old boy running down the street toward him. Curths said the child, panting and out of breath, begged for help, telling him a man was chasing him.

A priest and a boy? No way.

Thank goodness it wasn’t a woman. That would have violated his vow of celibacy. #illogicality

Nothing to worry about. Like Jerry Sandusky, this guy’s a homosexual so he’s protected. It’s all good.

Stop blaming the Church. Homosexuals have attempted to infiltrate every organization with lots of young boys/males in order to satisfy their obsession. Homosexuals who apply for such positions don’t declare their sexual orientation. They have done this for centuries. It is nothing new but now they seem to be everywhere.

You realize, of course, that sociopaths are generally very skilled at hiding their true personalities from normal, well-intentioned people.

In another age he would have considered himself fortunate to get back home only missing some equipment.

If true, hang him. From his testicles.

The vow is chastity.

Celibacy (remaining unmarried) is the discipline, chastity (refraining from all sexual immorality in thought, word and deed) is the vow.

There is nothing illogical - you simply do not understand the terms of the syllogism.

The infiltration of the church by these demons is difficult to stem, but the church has got to tighten up its standards.

Even if the percentage of abusers is the same as the general population, the problem appears to be endemic to the priesthood.
I am thinking that maybe chemical castration might be an area to investigate.

How?

They’re already pwned by Hussein and his “devout” useful idiot minions like PelosiCo.

From the article:
The Salem boy told authorities that Perez had asked his parents a few days earlier if he could take him on a trip to the mountains.

When in the world will parents learn? The answer to that question is a resounding “EFFFFFF NOOOOOOOOOOOO”

Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That’s my policy.

The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher’s knife and a h*rd-on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross!
[walks out of the room]

The Mayor: He’s got a point.

Who is stupid enough that they get a request like that from a priest and still let their child go anywhere near him?

The MSM has done its job well (of course, a little anti-Catholic predisposition in the heart of the listener helps). In reality, the instance of abuse (even at its peak) is below the rate of general society and minuscule compared to the public schools.

Yeah - that's why this will all get swept under the rug and the Diocese will just move him somewhere else.

It looks pretty public to me.

It looks like the state of Oregon will be moving him to detention.
