The Pope preaches in Australia about the need to reduce material desires. Meanwhile, families of those poor sexually abused kids are protesting against the fact that they aren't compensated enough. Not enough doesn't mean they aren't paid enough. In this context, a sincere apology from the Pope, personally, would be good. After all, being abused by a servant of God is very different from getting the same thing from some guy on the streets.
It is also somewhat different from getting it from one's father, though the level of trust broken is almost the same. Priests are holy men, ones whom others trust to the degree that Christians confess their sins to them and know they will keep their deepest secrets. Yet in these cases of sexual abuse, not only is this great trust broken, but so are several other things important for a normal life.
First is the trust in other people. This is basically the cases whenever someone breaks the trust of anyone. When you find out that someone lies to you, your trust in everyone in general lowers by a tiny bit. If you're the liar, it is the same.
Second is the trust in the Church, which is the one thing Christians should trust above all else, except for God Himself. In this case, it refers to the trust of all Christians in that country, in the Church, and to a larger degree, the people around the victims. At the moment, the Church is becoming less trustworthy by the minute.
Third is the precious innocence that children should always have until their teenage years. This is the one thing that no apology, in words or in cash, can help heal. Heck, even Time cannot help in such a situation. Sexual abusing children is the one thing that no punishment can do justice for. Well, unless the child is willing and happy about it, and this only appears in fiction.
The Church may spend a significant of their budget on covering up all these sex abuse cases around the world, but it cannot do that forever. There is something terribly and fundamentally wrong with their system. Holy men are NEVER supposed to molest kids. There should not even be the tiniest possibility that it can happen. Yet now it can. So now, the perfect trust is gone.
The servants of God and His counterparts in other religions are NOT JUST PEOPLE! People sin, priests should not! "To err is human; to forgive, divine" does not apply to priests in sex abuse cases! They are the people who guide other to Paradise, Nirvana and Enlightenment! They are the people who show others how to live the right way! They are NOT SUPPOSED TO MOLEST CHILDREN!
Yet it is becoming increasingly common to hear of priests molesting little boys and girls these days. Masturbation in secret is no longer enough for them. And some of them are MARRIED! And so I ask," Why is that so?"
In Christianity, God is omniscient. All priests know that. Therefore, they should know that even when they did what they did. Therefore, in their hearts of hearts, they have admitted that their needs come before God. Because they know God knows what they have done. And He sees it as wrong and they shouldn't have done it.
And they do not admit it nor confess until the children do so first.
I'm not sure if this is being done, but all such priests should be excommunicated right at the moment that they are found guilty. This is not done as a form of punishment or as a gesture of Justice, but to prevent such history from repeating itself. Kinda like tumours, which you must remove no matter whether it spreads or not. They just don't belong.
Was reading some cosplay forum on 4chan the other day. LOL at all the whales dressing up as some sexy anime characters. Seriously, be kind to others, fat people. Cover yourselves up, no matter if you're male or female or both. I'm fat, I'll admit. But working in an office environment in the past taught me that fat people, old people and anyone who is ugly can look nice in the right outfit. But NOT WHEN YOU'RE DRESSING UP AS MAI FROM DOA! FUCK! A RED WHALE! MAN THE HARPOONS NOW, MATES!
Looking at the pic below, I realize my tan lines from this long break is illustrated in it. I think you can guess which I'm referring to.
