Priest says decades of molesting kids a sin, not a crime

[blastoff]

The catholic church is as much to blame as any of the many priests who abused kids. In many instances they knew they had a bunch of sick bastards in their employ and did absolutely nothing to protect other kids from further abuses by them. As a result the problems festered and grew over several decades.

Here's hoping the lawsuits continue and the church has to pay through its shameful ass.

why did god allow it to happen?

I didn't have anything to do with what happened, so you are asking the wrong person. Only God can tell you why it had to happen.

God bless you always!!!

Priest Thomas Adamson admits abusing dozens of boys over decades | Mail Online

Former priest Thomas Adamson has admitted to abusing several young boys since 1961
He says he confessed to the abuse but no action was taken
Allegations involving dozens of boys came in the following decades
Adamson remained in the Catholic Church until 2009
He faces no jail time because the crimes are well past the state's Statute of Limitations for child sex allegations

The former high school basketball coach is accused of abusing 37 boys, but previously admitted to only 10 instances. The pedophile was removed from the priesthood in 2009 – 45 years after his first admission of guilt.

He conceded when asked in his most recent court appearance about how many boys he abused that he wasn’t sure.

‘I don’t know. I’d have to study that out.’ He said according to an affidavit cited by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

He has also conceded to not even remembering the names of some of his victims.

The church hid his crimes and allowed hi to go molesting children. While he gets off, his victims got a life sentence.

He can't even remember their names but you can bet his victims remember his.

I hope his neighbors know the truth about him and keep their children safe.

Well....I'm not surprised at all.

He's a former priest. Why did you leave that out?

And other than his word, what evidence do we have that he confessed it to anyone? You think he is telling the truth? Maybe. But he could just as easily be using his superiors as a scapegoat. "They didn't stop me so it's their fault"

He has alot to account for when he stands before God on the day of judgment. Thankfully the Lord can heal all the wounds of sin for his victims.

Agreed Avatar, note:

He says he confessed.

I hope he finds God in his heart.

He should be beaten IMO and locked up.

This is no different than the famous on the left making movies for NAMBLA or screwing underage children. This priest was having sex with many "boys' in high school.

Some on the left seemingly only damn the priests in many a case. Others like Milk, Polanski and Ginsberg, are lauded as heroes.

There should be no difference, they should all be damned one in the same.

I understand Polanski. What similarity does Ginsburg and Milk have with him though?

Those are pretty steep charges.

Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA and wrote supportive statements for NAMBLA. Here is one:

Attacks on NAMBLA stink of politics, witchhunting for profit, humorlessness, vanity, anger and ignorance ... I'm a member of NAMBLA because I love boys too -- everybody does, who has a little humanity."

Hell, he even dedicated Poems to NAMBLA. "Howl" was dedicated to NAMBLA. It speaks of being "fucked in the ass" and incest with mothers- and losing 'loveboys'.

Milk's lovers were as young as 15. Milk marched with NAMBLA in parades in San Francisco.

I was unaware of that. I cant think of anything sicker than NAMBLA. Pathetic 'organization' of sick individuals.

It's interesting that the radical left (rightfully) condemns child abuse by homosexual priests but yet condemns the Boy Scouts of America for the Supreme Court decision that allowed them to discriminate against homosexuals as scout leaders.

Homosexuality is NOT child molestation. Further, molesters rarely care about the sex of the child. It is not related to homosexuality in any real sense of the term. they prey on CHILDREN, period. That is a sick individual.

Because God gets off on the sexual abuse of young children. Its the only explanation.

Right wingers don't get that, though.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Oh, no. Oh, you poor misguided human being. There is no lord to "heal all the wounds of sin for his victims." That kind of attitude just help support what the child molester thinks, that whatever he does, God will forgive and the children he molests can find healing through God. This was a 'man of God,' who did this to them: doesn't that tell you what hypocrites religious people are? The 'Church' over looked what he and hundres, if not thousands, of other priests did to children. That is the face of religion: use and abuse those who are most vulnerable. To dismiss what those children went through and to assume they will be 'healed' because of God is low, very low. You don't know what they went through, how the suffered and still do, or if they will ever heal.

he is about as much a man of god as you are a kind human being. The fact that there is healing doesn't dismiss anything. And it sickens me that you guys care more about attacking God and religion than you do about what actually happened to these people or for their healing.

First, there is no God. And second, making a personal remark about me is deflecting from the point. You don't know anything about me. I certainly have never molested anyone, which makes me a much higher form of human being than a disgusting 'man of God' who abuses children. Don't bring me into this discussion. Though your religious arrogance and self righteousness makes you think you and your ilk are superior, you aren't. Believing in God is your thing, but there is no proof such a being exists, and believing in him doesn't make you or anyone superior.

If there is a God, a man who abuses children is not a 'man of God,' unless your God promotes the sexual abuse of children. You seem to suggest I am not a kind human being. How would you know? You think people who aren't religious are not kind? Shame on you for making such a suggestion. You are obviously one of those hypocritical Christians. I don't care more about attacking religion than about the children. That is another self righteous deflection on your part. Shame on you, shame on you. Just because someone doesn't believe in God, you like to assume they are inferior and bad people. In reality, the truth is generally just the opposite. And the truth is, you care more about believing in God than you do about what happened to those children. Shame on you.

Correction. In your OPINION there is no god.

God sending his priests to harm children - he's just 'moving in mysterious ways'.

Men who sexually abuse boys are homosexual. The least society can do is give parents the option of whether to put their sons in jeopardy by being supervised by an overt homosexual man. Why do they hate the Boy Scouts for having that option?

Generalizations like that one are rarely meaningful.

No, they are not. There is a massive difference between this:

and this:

A sexual attraction to one does not equate to a sexual attraction to the other. Simply put, a sexual attraction to children has nothing to do with the sex of the child and everything to do with the age. All the predator cares about is the fact that they are dealing with a CHILD, not that the child is a boy or girl.

Most young children can be dressed up as the opposing sex and you would not have a single clue that they were really a boy/girl. That illness is unrelated to being gay.

Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
