Come on you idiot! Stop with the reasonable debate already!
We are attacking religion and especially the Catholic Church here.
Child abuse is so shocking that we don't even need a trial to give
someone
a punishment. I say if someone suddenly "remembers" some sexual
advances
from a priest or anyone else then that should be good enough! Get out
the twigs
and the stake and get the weenie roast started. Jail is too good for
these guys.
I say, they should be tortured until they "confess" and then burned at
the stake.

Everybody knows that because of celibacy, ALL priests are latent
pedophiles!
They are just pedophilia waiting to happen. All those children can
only be saved
if we start killing all priests NOW! Once the priest is tortured and
dead we don't
need no stinkin' records. The church made the mistake of keeping
records back
during the inquisition. No records. No blame. Simple.

We'll do it for the CHILDREN!

In theory I would agree with you. Catholics specifically, and
religions generally, are in the brainwashing business when it comes to
indoctrinating people. Their methods are very effective. A child is
relatively defenseless - not like they can tell their parents, their
indoctrinated parents merely punish the children for lying.

When they do take the child's side, the rectory pretends it is a
single, out of the blue, isolated incidence. Parents agree to remain
quiet and the priest is supposed to get the help he needs so it can
never happen again. If they even believe the allegations, that is.

The rectory holds most of the power. It is embarrassing all around
and they hush it up to "protect the reputations of the children
involved" (if you can believe it). the result is a secret conspiracy
to hide crimes against children and we go along like this for decades.

The religion is in the god business, so people want to believe what
they are told - to start questioning is to "loose faith," which is a
sin punishable by hell. To speak out publicly you incur the stares in
church, snide comments, public ridicule etc.. No parent wants that,
so their choice is change parishes or move away.

I'm against one size fits all - type of justice. While the argument
that records and memory is lost is valid and works against justice, a
free pass it isn't warranted in this situation either. The RCC has
been writing its own ticket for thousands of years, they are due for
an awakening.

And if only one child is saved from a pedophile priest, wouldn't it be
worth it?

If they ever make the office of Grand Inquisitor elective, you have my
vote!

Strawman much?

Now that you've got that out of your system, what do you suggest
society as a whole do now about pedophile priests? Trust the
Church to handle it?

Trust the same Church which does not even dispute the news stories
of members of the hierarchy ordering victims and "clean" priests
to stay silent, of moving abusing priests to new locations
without even warning their new co-workers about their history
of abuse?

you are suggesting something illogical. They are also not allowed to be
with men or children either.

In my experience, RC priests falter in that they break their celibacy vows
with women, men and children.

Those that do break their vows are breaking their vows no matter which
category they've dallied with.
