it doesn’t matter how big the counrty is or how many children live in those countries, it is still the same kind of abuse, and should be punished accordingly, the church failed those parents and the victims in the first place, so we now need to wake up and deal with it in the propper way, you sometimes have to be cruel to be kind.

If cruelty is a basis for a religion then god help them,

My mother was sent to a convant during the last war and brought up by the sisters of mercy, as a six year old child she once asked a plain and honest question about the good book, where she was swiftly lifted and dragged outside and made to kneel on her bare knees on sharp gravel until she bled profusly, this is the kind of lenity they showed to her, I dare not repete what some of the other pupils saw, their own followers new born left upon the steps comes to mind.

Our children are our future and should not be exposed to any religion until they have at least read some of the bible for themselves, or are at an age where they can understand what the good book is saying without any in or outside influence.

A perfect example of this is from my own experiences, when mother came to pick us up from what she thought was a sunday youth club, where we were told stories from the good book and were then asked questions afterwards, if you got the question right they threw you a sweetie, she caught them in the act and the roof lifted, we never went back there by the way, and got sore ears on the way home for not telling her the sweeties were awfully god.

Any church does not follow the book as it was written and have changed certain parts of it to suit their own ways, is it right and just to sin every day of the week and then forgiven for those sins on a sunday, this is why those guilty parties have been undiscovered for so long, their own rules contradict what they are doing and saying.

One of the biggest crimes of late was the total and systamatical destruction by the Romans at the library of Alexander, who knows what they found there which was so important to their cause to make them destroy everything, just like the good book says we will never know will we.

As for apologizing to anyone here… do be serious, just this once.

Furthermore, the horrors visited on children in Ireland are only the latest in a history of malevolence.

Indeed, the crimes committed in Ireland seem almost petty compared with the centuries of the inquisition, the centuries of church approved torture and executions of “witches” and “heretics”, or the centuries of papal sanctioned anti-semitism, which paved the way for the Holocaust.

If you want to see the roots of Nazism try the papal bull “Cum nimis absurdum” written by one of the more loathsome Renaissance popes, Paul IV, which created the modern concept of the ghetto.

No doubt Barbieri thinks this is all “irrational”, because he believes that the unpleasant facts of history can be swept under a divine carpet.

“That takes courage, and also we shouldn’t forget that this account today will also overshadow all of the good that they also did.”

Dr Nichols, When asked if those who perpetrated violence and abuse should be held to account, he said: “Yes they should, no matter how long ago it happened.

It’s unbelievable, isn’t it.
Of what he says, I’m glad he thinks the police should take action against those who do that sort of thing to children.
But I can not see how there can be a defence for the comments he said.
Of the few things acceptable for reading here I’d say you’d either have to be highly paid in that organisation or you don’t have children of your own, to go to his aide on those words.
If Nicols had raped children of his own, would he think of the good their rapists might also have done alongside what they had done to his little girl or boy?
