Zone1 Seattle passes law requiring clergy to report crimes even if told during Sacrament of Confession.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

What would be the point?

Seattle doesn’t prosecute any crimes.

.

Yep.

The left cult just likes feeling that they're *****-slapping Christians and especially Catholics. How much genuine concern for child abuse victims can the state have that legislated itself the right to abuse children? Makes no sense.

Transgender minors protected from estranged parents under Washington law

The new law that Inslee signed Tuesday is part of a wave of legislation in Democratic-led states intended to give refuge amid a conservative movement in which lawmakers in other states have attacked trans rights and limited or banned gender-affirming care for minors.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that 95% of the Seattle Archdiocese's priest are limp-wristed enough to buy the bullshit, but they'd probably let a pedo slide if they could get their hands on some of the action. They got lots of questionable ones.

Evidence That Fairies Are Frigid

That's because celibacy is as unnatural as Gayism. The "minor-attracted persons," full-blown Gayists, played on that truth and infiltrated the seminaries.

Priests should be allowed to at least marry nuns.

 

[BackAgain]

This will be a big problem for Catholic Priests, as the sanctity of the confession is absolute in Catholic Cannon law. The Church is only questioning the violation of sacrament of confession, they agree clergy have a duty to report outside of the confessional.

That “law” is such an obvious violation of the First amendment’s religious freedom guarantee, it won’t survive any round of judicial scrutiny.

My Catholic father-in-law agreed with you, that celibacy was unnatural, but a decade later, after I converted, I've had some conversations with my priest, in which he tells a group of us that celibacy is what he chooses, and what makes his priesthood more meaningful.

But then, he has had the experience of parenting. He fostered 15 young men in his younger years. I think that experience has kept him more solidly rooted in his celibacy. He's one of the priests who truly understands the importance of sexual union only as a part of the Sacrament of Marriage, and the importance of raising the resulting children within that Sacrament.

He's an interesting guy and I am privileged to have had him as my spiritual father.

How many priests have been prosecuted?

Probably less than the number of school teachers, of course there are more school teachers than priests.

 

[martybegan]

A small number of crimes should be reported, but I highly doubt those prone to committing them go to confession.

It's useless.

Not for ones admitted to in the confessional.

And part of the absolution process is the priest telling said person to turn themselves in if they truly are repentant.

Many teachers have been prosecuted.

Tell us who.






.

 

[martybegan]

Many teachers have been prosecuted.

And so have priests. The coverups were just found in the Priesthood first, how much of this do you think was happening in schools and not reported at the same time?

 

[pknopp]

And so have priests.

Nope.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Nope.

.



Name the teachers instead of giving us "funny" emojis.

[martybegan]

Nope.

None have been prosecuted?

Nearly 350 K-12 educators arrested on child sex crimes in 2022

A year-long analysis conducted by Fox News Digital found that 349 public educators were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of 2022.

Just in one year! Innocent until proven guilty is the rule. How many of these were convicted and how many falsely accused?

No violation of church and state there?

All sorts of violation of the 1st Amendment.

As soon as they make it illegal for school districts to refuse to report pedo "teachers", which far outnumber the leftist pedo priests.
