For one thing, you do not know me, so you have no idea what I would or would not do.
I never said that Cardinal Law was a paragon of virtue. I said that he had admitted making mistakes. You, on the other hand, have made the statement that he is a wicked man. Do you know him, personally? Do you have any idea of what he believes is right and wrong? Is everyone who makes mistakes in judgement a wicked person?
Statements like yours are PRECISELY what I mean about people going off the deep end. I have made no apologies for the priests who abused their vows and took advantage of the helpless among them. If it had been up to me, these men would be rotting in jail. Unfortunately, the kids who were abused were not well served by the Church or the justice system in this country. I just try not to denigrate the entire Church because of the criminal behavior of a relatively small number of priests or the Bishops who sheltered them.
YOU might call allowing a climate of pedophilia to florish and exist a simple mistake. I on the other hand call it wicked, morally and legally.
What you think of as a mistake, I think of as totally wrong beyond words.
Years and years and years of covering up for, and advancing pedophiles in the Roman Catholic church who molested over and over again and you call that a mistake and not wicked?
