LINK Catholic Priest Attempts to Walk Back “Pedophilia Doesn’t Kill Anyone” Comment | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

A couple of weeks ago, Rev. Richard Bucci of Sacred Heart Church in Rhode Island handed out a flyer with a list of all politicians in the state who backed abortion rights in a law passed last year… insisting that those lawmakers would never be allowed to receive communion in the Church.

When it was pointed out that Bucci’s own church has been at the center of some sexual abuse allegations — so who is he to tell other people about sin — he dismissed it entirely… in the worst possible way.

“We are not talking about any other moral issue, where some may make it a comparison between pedophilia and abortion. Pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone and this does,” Rev. Bucci of Sacred Heart Church in West Warwick said.

    There you go. He downplayed pedophilia because it wasn’t murder… even though it destroys lives. He just doesn’t care.

Bucci is now taking back those words. Sort of. But not really.

Rhode Island Bureau should immediately put this priest under investigation. I believe they'll find something somewhere.
