LINK Will the church ever cull their own?

I'm curious. I see christians all over the place accuse transgenders of being pedophiles, threatening people with violence and being all sorts of just horrible. Yet, when there is a list of pedophiles and abusers made available, not one has made one statement about beating them, killing them or cutting off their genitals. Why is that?

Evidence and statistics show most paedaphies are heterosexuals. Other sexual orientations are scarce and not near to their percentage of the population. And, off a little, more online porn sold in the bible belt.

Well thats the point. the paedaphiles on the list are not usually transgender, alternative lifestyle indivduals whos way of life conflicts with the bible. (apart from fucking children.) Good thing because if a paedo was also a transgender it would in their limited mindset strengthen their argument.

I get really tired of people saying "if the church would only allow priests to marry this wouldn't happen"
Don't they realize that if that were true the problem with priests would be that they are having affairs/sex with the women of the congregation not molesting the children? These men are pedophiles they desire children as do a fraction of people that choose careers that bring them in contact with children.

Unfortuntely this is not quite the case. There are of course paedophiles who are gentically hard wired that way but usually attraction to children comes from lack of successs with women. Priests have sexual desires. They are not able to fulfill them with adult women (or men) so they are directed towards a subsitute- children.

Outside the priesthood there are just some men who cannot get with women. They are usually sad and inadequate and children are impressionable and powerless compared with an adult woman.

Please don't repsond with exceptions. I know there are child abusers out there who are normal and successful with women and life in general. It is a general point not an absolute. I understand the complexities of human psychology- although not to the degree which I would like to.

@PalacinkyPDX I agree with you. Many pedophiles have been molested as children. They can be in any walk of life but gravitate to professions where there is children. Many men choose to molest boys though they say they are not gay.

Apparently, you've forgotten RULE NUMERO UNO ... all they need to do is admit their sins, perform acts of absolution and they're HOME FREE!

and equally if you devote your life to charity and impeccable moral standards but worship the wrong God you're done for. Or no God at all.

Mother Thersea comes to mind. She was a Christian but the wrong kind. Catholics are out.

@rovingamber I've always said that Mother Teresa was a VERY DANGEROUS woman! In the middle of horrible slums, she preached ''the rhythm plan" and she denied her poor patients pain medications, saying there was ''nobility in suffering and in poverty." She courted the press of the world but did NOT behave in a very Jesusish manner.

@rovingamber mother teresa was a horrid woman.

Seems like the RCC needs to stop covering up, and start reporting the abuse of children.
