Honestly, it feels like if the SS units marched into Warsaw just to lay a wreath for their own fallen soldiers who died during the Warsaw Uprising—all while wearing their SS uniforms. And then, they actually have the nerve to demand sympathy or grief for their own losses? It’s pathetic. 🙂disgusting

Man, what a joke. Just pathetic. Truly shameful.

My absolute worst nightmare: America being a NATO member, basically just serving up everything to someone else's empire.
Braco, tell me—is this actually happening, or am I just dreaming?div>

Whatever, it's not even the same kind of servitude we used to deal with.
I guess I'm mostly wondering what happens to everyone else in NATO besides the USA.
I'm worried it's just pure imperialism, and that stuff never ends well.

doesn't this whole crusade against pedophile priests remind you of how everyone branded the clergy traitors back in '45?
as for the USA, a lot of those creeps managed to slip away there too, unfortunately
anyone browsing porn online eventually stumbles onto the child stuff
which mostly comes from us "model" Westerners, from our European and American brothers (mostly atheists)

That comparison doesn't really hold water.
Comparing the way Communists went after the Church due to ideology and class warfare in '45—when they were also trying to seize all their land and property—to specific cases of pedophilia in an era where people actually have religious freedom... it's different.
The more the internet expands, the more room there is for abuse. I guess we'll see the same issues here once the web becomes even more widespread..

So you think the attacks on pedophile priests are a smear campaign?
If you ask me, what's happening isn't even 10% of the actual reality.
It’s like rape cases; only a tiny fraction ever get reported.

p.s. Just remembered a case from my hometown, some guys ended up in prison and were just bragging about how many women they screwed over and how one "bitch" actually reported them.

antraks said:I’ve got an idea—let's just ban religion and lock up all the priests!!!
That would probably solve a ton of issues, including the whole pedophilia thing.
Doesn't that sound kind of familiar to you?

The court just needs to rule based on the law, like they do for everyone else committing the same crimes.
But then again, maybe the courts just let them off with a slap on the wrist while the Church moves them somewhere else.

p.s. In the European Union, even sharing those kinds of images online can land you in prison.

Steven Patel23 said:Look, I guess it’s just how it works. Churches always have to protect their own reputation... Some even get the government to help them out (and I mean globally, not just in places like the US or Mexico where we see the freshest examples of this).

And then they act surprised when nobody shows up to service.
If anyone else pulled that stunt, they'd be finished.
I still remember Pahomije... what a joke. Not even convicted despite all the evidence against him.

Word is that Vlado Bosner from the Rijeka District Court just let priest Drago Ljubičić walk free, even after those charges involving five kids on Martha's Vineyard.
He’s just banned him from talking to the minors or their parents involved in the case, I guess.
Ljubičić left the courthouse with Ivan Kordić, the general vicar for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Apparently, this disgraced priest is being sent off to some monastery far away from everyone.

Is this actually justice?

The sun is beating down, everything’s just glowing,
everyone’s out wandering to celebrate May Day,
the whole city's colorful and covered in flowers,
flags waving everywhere as the parades move along.
