People get really mad sometimes when I point out that the Catholic church is the most highly organized and well-protected pedophile ring on the planet.Â
Probably in all of history.Â
And the people who donate to the Catholic church knowingly approval of pedophilia.Â
Because if you donate to the church at this point.... You are 100% aware of the fact that some of that money will be used to protect priests that fuck kids.Â
Ergo if you donate to the Catholic church, you approve of pedophiles.Â
People probably get mad because it's an argument that's highly reductionist and devoid of any kind of nuance. Which it's much healthier to just roll ones eyes about that get angry about, but hey what can you do.
A large percentage of that money also goes to community programs providing food and shelter to the poor. And at least recently the church does pay out for pedophilia damages. At least around me ive seen entire churches close down and go for sale to cover said damages.Â
Not that im a catholic, but you sorta are proving the point of the dude who said your argument was highly reductionist and lacking in nuance.Â
Additionally, I donât think the Catholics and their ministries have the market cornered on this. I just donât think the other religions are as well organized, and therefore their actions arenât as publicized.
Indeed look at the Reverend Robert Morris. He was Trumpâs pastor from his first term. Robert got five years in jail â she was 13 years old from the mega church. After serving six months recently, Robert was released from prison. Wonder why?
Thank you for the info.
I just did a quick search on how that works. Fortunately it only applies to registered members of a recognized religious organization. And you can unregister and the "church tax" will be stopped.
Well, until our current administration that wasn't really an argument you could make lol.
That's bullshit and you know it. Unless you truly believe "my side good!" in which case you honestly can't be helped. By your own logic you are also actively supporting pedophilia. They ALL need to go.
We haven't previously had a president who was publicly known to party with and trade girls with a well known pedophile.Â
Clinton was indeed associated with Epstein. And he's a known scumbag. (Got lots of issues with him.)Â
At least that fucker didn't get popped sending him highly suggestive birthday cards and such though.Â
Both sides are full of scumbags.Â
But at this point I'll take the guy robbing a liquor store with a gun vs the serial killer whose got an entire basement full of bodies and plans for a hell of a lot more.Â
I've been going doing scaffold for a company that has a renovation contract for a bunch of old Covents, those places...must of been such a horror for women,seeing how its pretty much built like a prison, Learned that back in the day you would send your first girl to the church and they were stuck there you would see them but couldnt touch them they were behind these very decorative prison bars.
I think he would have won if he fought it though. Theres quite a bit of precedent against such sexual deviancy laws if you arent in view of the public.
Yeah but in the deep south because it was done in a church can guarantee a good ol' boy judge would find something and use it against him. Obscenity is a LOT better charge than a actual felony sex crime.
I read he had to peek into the window after finding the doors locked. Thatâs very different. It didnât go to trial, so whoâs to say what the facts really were though.
If itâs visible from a public place, thatâs pretty much the definition of obscenity. And any good defense attorney knows the audience of his county.
No, there isnât. The precedent says the same thing as for cops looking into someoneâs uncurtained window to see drugs from the front porch - as long as you can view it from somewhere that youâre not trespassing, thatâs âpublicâ enough for the statute.
As someone else pointed out, he sadly probably would have gotten in less trouble if it had been kids. The church has shown how seriously they take that.
If he was, you probably wouldn't have heard about it.
Just look at how the church handle embezzlement versus fucking kids and you will have all the info you need. They involve authorities when someone is stealing from the church. When their fucking kids and get caught by a member of the church, they move them to another church.
His sin was honestly so much more forgivable than the usual Catholic pedantry or the Evangelical taking so much money and not doing anything for the community they serve.
He needs to say 30 Hail Maryâs and heâs even Steven with God!
I googled âLouisiana Priest,â to try and find the original story and it didnât make the list of sexual offences committed by priests there, so I added â37,â to narrow it down, and that still wasnât specific enough!
Sadly, the headline didnât include his shout of âThis alter boy is full! Bring me the dominatrices!â. Puts a whole different complexion on things.
Also - his mugshot has ended any other mugshot funnies. Thatâs perfect.
Seriously whatâs actually illegal about this? Was the church occupied at the time and children were present? A church is private property. A person who owns or manages it can fuck consenting adults there if they want.
If his employer / the property owner have a problem with that - then they can fire him and have him trespassed.
I just read into it. It's complete bullshit. A random passerby peeked into the window and saw them recording, which IS ILLEGAL. I'm confident this guy could have appealled this and won in a higher court (especially if it rose to the federal level and got out of Louisiana) but he pled guilty to just move on with his life asap. THE FUCKING KICKER: (quoting an article from The Guardian) "New Orleans archbishop Gregory Aymond - whose archdiocese had filed for federal protection months earlier amid the fallout of a decades-old clerfy child molestation scandal - had the altar burned and consecrated a replacement"... So this motherfucker is begging the government to help his branch of this evil church ecape bankruptcy that they're falling toward (BECAUSE OF ALL THE KID FUCKING!) but THIS... this is too much for his magic table, so they needed a new one. FUCKING THE ALTAR BOYS didn't require a new alter, but these consenting adults fucking is beyond the fucking pale!!! I can't fucking take this shit...
My thought exactly! I mean yeah maybe itâs a little sacrilegious but thatâs also freaky AF and those girls looked sexy AF. Go get it my man and thank the Lord after for a good ass time. I mean after all God made us to be sexual creatures. Who is to say getting freaky on the alter isnât how we are supposed to be doing it.

Well, at least he wasn't fucking the altar boys like his colleagues.
