Roman Catholic Church lowers its standards

[Sava]

I just sent ~25 million dong to a kid in SE Asia, but it seems we may have run afoul of some regulations or other bull**** not allowing me to pass my dong overseas to him ... I am not making this up!

hopefully the Filipino version of "To Catch A Predator" gets you

[Ben Kenobi]

I never said release to public. I said legal authorities.

Legally, we are not required to release any information not covered by a warrant and probable cause. Again - the Church has legal protections too.

The vatican is not releasing information to legal authorities

The Vatican, one, is not subject to 'local authorities'. For one the Vatican has sovereign immunity to prosecution. Having say, the City of Philadelphia file a suit against the Vatican is silly.

Now, the City of Philadelphia can, say, file a suit against the local diocese, and they can file for the release of information concerning the diocese and pertinent to the case.

This is basic, basic, disclosure rules, Pax. I'm sorry you don't like the criminal justice system, but it is there for a reason. Fishing expeditions are illegal.

thus hampering ongoing investigations and also preventing investigations from taking place.

You're going to have to provide evidence for your claims that the Catholic church is not collaborating with legal authorities in providing pertinent information to them.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yet again... are you trying to use the ole "since the problem occurs elsewhere, it's ok defense"

Answer the question, Ming. Do you consider staff sexual abuse of minors to be a serious problem in the public school system at present? Yes or no.

[Ben Kenobi]

you don't have a country.

Funny, my passport says I do and apparently we understand the law better than you do.

One, 'wikipedia' is not a source.

Two,

It asserted the church's right to hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood.

Not obstruction.

Her first discovery was a police record of interview with Monsignor Patrick Cotter, who was Maitland’s acting Bishop in the 1970s.

That's 45 years ago.

Third source. Lots of accusations, but NO DATES.

Fourth source.

The testimony of Marie Collins, from Ireland, who was abused 50 years ago by a hospital chaplain

So where's the evidence for present obstruction?

[Ming]

Answer the question, Ming. Do you consider staff sexual abuse of minors to be a serious problem in the public school system at present? Yes or no.

You don't seem to think it's a serious problem in RCC.

And we aren't discussing the public school system, we are discussing the RCC. You can keep trying to change the subject, but it doesn't change the facts.

Answer the question, Sister Bendy. Do you consider staff sexual abuse of minors to be a serious problem in the Roman Catholic Church at present? Yes or no.

Corrected.

Lots of blether

Here we have that species of aquatic life known as the Sister Bendy blind perch- its habitat is mainly in denial.

One, 'wikipedia' is not a source.

The wiki entry lists a specific source for the relevant text.

Do you get off on being wrong?

Do you have a bull**** excuse for the other 172,000 results?

[Ben Kenobi]

You don't seem to think it's a serious problem in RCC.

Answer the question, Ming. Do you believe that staff sexual abuse is a serious problem at present for the public school system?

[Ben Kenobi]

The wiki entry lists a specific source.

Then cite the actual source. You wouldn't consider 'kenobipedia' to be a reliable source.

[Sava]

Answer the question, Ming. Do you believe that staff sexual abuse is a serious problem at present for the public school system?

Statistically, far less than the RCC.

There are these things called facts.

[Sava]

Then cite the actual source. You wouldn't consider 'kenobipedia' to be a reliable source.

I'm not doing your research for you. What I listed is legitimate. If you have a problem, directly refute it with a legitimate, supported argument.

Otherwise, go eat your own ****.

[Ben Kenobi]

Statistically, far less than the RCC.

Well, then. You should be able to provide evidence for this assertion.
