Saints fight to avoid disclosing emails in Catholic abuse crisis (MERGED)

Wow. Catholism just keeps taking hits.

Catholism is its own worst enemy, the Catholic church's behaviour with regards to this issue is evil personified....

Again ... the Saints (and Archdiocese) could get a mile out in front of this by giving up the emails willingly. Maybe that will end up happening.

Maybe, but that would depend on the content of the emails, it could be quite damning which if i had to guess may be the reason they don't want to release them in the first place...

Thank God it’s Friday. Nothing wrong with what the Saints did here. Also everyone in the media loves to dogpile on the Catholic Church but the issue of sexual abuse and subsequent covering up isnt just inherent to the Catholic Church - it’s a pandemic across society that effects every line of work, social group, sports, politics, schools, and of course churches too. It’s good that it’s brought to light but it seems like media coverage is disproportionately directed at the Catholic Church as opposed to every other industry which has had massive sexual assault issues that were swept under the rug.

I don't think there is enough information to say one way or another if the Saints organization did something wrong here....but go ahead and keep on perpetuating how the Catholic church is some kind of victim in all of this because that is the exact attitude that has kept pedophile priests out there....unbelievable....
