No, not at all. It seems that priests are persecuted to
ridiculous ends as is the case with Ridder. I can
understand the perpensity of 'bigots' presecuting the
Catholic church, but what's the point of persecuting Ritter.
Yet, DFU is having Gorbasim.

====================================

Priests persecuted to ridiculous ends? Are you out of your mind? I am Catholic. What has happened in my church is embarrassing and disgusting. With a priest, a man who is trusted, it is one strike and you are out. You touch a little boy or girl and you go to jail. You cover it up and you also face criminal prosecution.

I seems to ME that priests were persecuted to ridiculous ends, whether guilty or innocent, dead and unable to defend themselves or alive, and Democrat moral hypocrisy in the media turned the procedings into a shameful Inquisition, causing the Church to settle every case quickly and out of court...and at the end, neither priests not the Church were offering even a token defense. Perhaps they were all guilty...perhaps, as I believe, some were innocent victims of the left's newest ploy to destroy the Christian foundations of this country...unfortunately, we may never know of any innocents, even if they exist, because of the anti-Christian and anti-Catholic (some of which came from Christians of other sects) media propaganda circus surrounding all the new, daily accusations, which came at near light speed until the public didn't know WHAT to believe anymore.

HOWEVER, in Ritter's case, there WAS NO RIDICULE until conservatives got wind of it, even though the details of RITTER'S case were more clear and better documented. HIS case was SEALED: COVERED UP for TWO YEARS. If it had never BEEN uncovered, he could have done it again and been a three time loser...but only been charged for a first offense as though he had no record if the next court didn't catch wind of the PRIOR. All the while, he would have been preaching to "impeach Bush" and "Saddam's innocent" to the world from his bully pulpit of phoney moral superiority - a platform bsed on a lie - and affecting international policy and possibly the fate of the free world.

Why did the left so gleefully persecute priests? Why is the left NOW so VIGOROUSLY defending Ritter, who was caught red handed because he had HOPED he had lured an underaged girl to satisfy his sick desires??

Why the double standard from the left wing???
