A Proposal: Remove All Privileges of Religious Organizations that Exceed

41. yet some studies show that the recidivism

rate for sex molesters isn't really any higher overall than for other crimes.
(Granted, there are competing studies, and the range of found recidivism rates is pretty wide, but generally speaking still at least a little to a lot lower than for general crimes). I don't think most child molesters are "sociopaths." I think they have an unnatural and extraordinarily harmful predilection, but that doesn't make them sociopaths. It certainly makes them someone we should separate from society for a long time, study to figure out why they are as they are, and keep away from kids at all costs. but I've prosecuted and defended child molesters, and I've seen everything from full-on remorse to full-on lack of remorse (although the latter was usually tied with protestations of innocence).

Yeah, the Catholic Church has a problem. It's not the only religion in the world. So citing that it has a problem isn't really citing why the privilege should go away.

My guess is almost never "none" when dealing with humans. We are too complex and varied for "none" or "all" the vast majority of the time. So, I think the correct answer is "some." How big that some is, I don't know, but it's bigger than the none we'd have with no privilege. How do I know for sure it's not "none" because I have seen it firsthand where a confession to a priest (not Catholic) led to a conviction. Now, the defense counsel later tried to argue it

So, if I understand you correctly though, you are ok with keeping the privilege for non child offenses but not for child offenses because you think child molesters are sociopaths and thus would never confess?
