Are you once again just consulting the RCC who does have experience concealing child rape? Because you’ve already carried that water and I don’t really need to hear it again.

Meanwhile the “experience” of prosecutors and child advocacy groups tells us these laws are necessary for the welfare of children rather than the welfare of the RCC which you appear to have a greater concern for.

Child rapists often do talk after they are caught Major Nikon Feb 2019 #7

Good. It's time to make the clergy follow the same rules as MineralMan Feb 2019 #3

So if the abusers do not self-report, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #4

What does that have to do with anything? trotsky Feb 2019 #5

The "logic" is there's a higher authority than secular laws Major Nikon Feb 2019 #9

To be fair, I believe his logic is this: trotsky Feb 2019 #10

Not even his logic Major Nikon Feb 2019 #11

Another view, in this thread. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #13

Use your own words, g. trotsky Feb 2019 #46

You, and a few others, are making a point. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #47

"We"? LMAO trotsky Feb 2019 #48

More often the victim reports it and is ignored. No more of that. marylandblue Feb 2019 #6

Many times, as the Metoo movement shows, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #14

I don't get you often. marylandblue Feb 2019 #17

The problem is predation. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #20

You don't seem to understand how mandatory reporting works. marylandblue Feb 2019 #25

I understand all of that. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #26

If you understood it, you would not answer that way. marylandblue Feb 2019 #28

We can agree to disagree. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #29

Not really, you are throwing out red herrings. Here isevidence marylandblue Feb 2019 #30

What's worse is he does understand Major Nikon Feb 2019 #35

Worse, when he gives the water to the RCC after carrying it, MineralMan Feb 2019 #37

When they are caught in their crime, they can and will be prosecuted Major Nikon Feb 2019 #8

It is that easy? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #15

Actual experience is that people do confess abuse marylandblue Feb 2019 #18

One person.One single person. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #21

It's not the only such story, it's just the first one I found marylandblue Feb 2019 #23

It is an argument against the efficacy of mandatory reporting. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #24

So your position is that we should do away with mandatory reporting altogether? marylandblue Feb 2019 #27

No, Gil is just against mandatory reporting for religious organizations Major Nikon Feb 2019 #40

How many child rapes must we allow, Gil? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #39

What should we want? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #42

You predictably didn't answer the question Major Nikon Feb 2019 #43

I said zero cases. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #44

You refused to answer my question Major Nikon Feb 2019 #45

Why Don't Child Sex Abuse Victims Tell? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #22

Sometimes the abusers tell Major Nikon Feb 2019 #31

What percentage of abusers tell the authorities? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #32

Do you think it's going to be less than one? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #33

A significant minority do tell marylandblue Feb 2019 #34

It's even stranger when someone suggests we shouldn't Major Nikon Feb 2019 #36

Some do and some don't. Given the RCCs attitudes on sinful behavior, MineralMan Feb 2019 #38

Like a moth to a flame. Voltaire2 Feb 2019 #12
