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

On what grounds? The New Orleans Saints, as an entity, had zero involvement with anything unbecoming. People who own and/or work for the Saints advised a personal friend in an area they had expertise on. The Catholic Church has 300,000 churches across the world, and has existed since circa 33 A.D. Good thing the majority of Christians didn't "remove any association with the Church" after every Judas, or there wouldn't be a deposit of faith 2,000 years later.

Pedophilia is inexcusable in every circumstance, and I'd be tempted to take justice into my own hands if it every happened to anyone I love; that said, it's a societal problem and not exclusive to the Catholic Church. In fact, it occurs in far greater numbers outside the Catholic Church than inside. I'm not giving anybody a pass; I'm simply stating that all religious - Catholic Priests, Protestant Pastors, ___ Ministers - they all come from you and me; they don't grow on trees. We raise them, and if, as a society, we have a disordered sexuality that includes every perversion and deviation, then we can expect to find that in every occupation, even those we hold to higher standards.



You are an enabler of the Catholic Church.. unfortunately , people like yourself are a huge part of the problem, and the reason why theyve been able to get away with diddling kids for so long while shuffling priests aroud to different parishes.

Any organization that demands celibacy, and doesnt allow priests to marry, is BEGGING for pedophiles and other miscreants to join its ranks... Spare me the doctrine, and just look at how much lower the numbers for these types of atrocities are in some other religions.. Episcopalians, for instance, allow their priests to get married, and they allow women to become priests, as well as men.
