We are supposed to hate the sin and love the sinner.

I find this very hard to do with the Roman Catholic hierarchy, who have covered for and enabled pedophiles for over 50 years in this country.

And, yes, I am a cradle Catholic.

Christ tells us not to retaliate and return evil for evil, but to be patient and know that God will mete out justice since vengeance belongs to God alone.

That doesn't mean we're supposed to encourage, tolerate or promote evil. We're supposed to right it.

"Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way." -- Psalm 119:128

And as Paul says our patience will serve to further condemn the reprobate...

"Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head." -- Romans 12:20

But the best information about what will happen to those who destroy our children is from Christ...

"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." -- Matthew 18:6

Thank God for the righteous among the wolves. People like you will be who rights this wrong.
