The United States vs Vatican City - Who would win?

[The Alma Mater]

If you meant "transferred to other municipalities if the police got too close" or even "transferred to African countries where the police was more easily bribed" with " excommunicated or at the very least stripped of their priestly authority" - yes.

Otherwise - no. They were not. That is the whole schandal.

Again I point you to my above post. You people are so quick to assume that because someone is accused of something that makes them guilty of it. Shameful. I thought especially American citizens would value innocent before proven guilty sentiments. A few people who dont like the Catholic church start screaming 'Molestation' and all of a sudden the entire church is corrupt and is hiding molesters, while those who were PROVEN to be guilty of such crimes were dealt with accordingly.

Confessions are not enough for you ?
Stop the arrogance. Stop insulting the victims.

Im getting off topic so Im going to stop, but lest the media and others keeps persecuting Catholics and Christians as a whole it only proves our prophecies true and makes our faith stronger, so let them.

I'm rebuking the church as hard as I am because they're one of the representatives of the Christian faith, and that just makes it all the worse when they tacitly condone child abuse. Which incidentally doesn't prove "our prophecies" true, unless you're reading a very different version of the Bible than I am.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
America Wins. Fatality

Pretty sure the priests that were guilty of it were excommunicated or at the very least stripped of their priestly authority. What more do you want them to do? Hang them?

Report them to the local authorities and help the police in any way possible

Well obviously that would have to occur inorder for an investigation to prove them guilty of these crimes. That is a given and priests that were found to be guilty were dealt with according to local and cannon law.

Please produce evidence where a priest or bishop confessed to committing these crimes but was not arrested. Please, I beg you. Back up your claims.

Ignoring the ones who were suspected enough by the church to require them to be squirreled away in another area and the victims threatened into silence.

Yet somehow this wasn't enough to involve police

Your believing hearsay with no proof to produce to support your claims just as the media has.

Bullshit.

Ok, if its such Bullshit then be my guest and prove me wrong.

Where is your proof? Cite your sources.

Until someone around here can do more then spew hearsay, rumors, and invalid claims and produce any evidence to back up their claims, ill be on my way.

That and I dont want a warn for derailing. Have fun.

"offensive wars are illegal" well done but that's easily dealt with by fudging some wmd evidence[/quote]
