So, considering this is Lemmy I’ll clarify. I’m not talking about your neighbor who voted for Trump or your uncle who’s always been a dick. I’m talking about coming in contact with a deep down evil scary human. I’ve only met one that I can think of. When I was 12 or 13 I spent a ton of time at my best friends house. He lived on a big beautiful rural property with his dad, a few brothers and always one or two random dudes. His dad was a good electrician and a biker. So, he always had friends/associates hanging around. So one day I was staying over for a long weekend and we met a new guy his dad was housing for a week or two. Dude was a real full fledged nazi. Had a swastika under his eye and tats all over most of his body. He was from California I guess. He was “working” with my buddies dad for awhile. Anyway, the main interaction I had with him was when he pulled my friend and I in for a sermon. We were going to go hunt squirrels and do rural kid shit. He stopped us outside and had us sit on the porch. Spent about 20 minutes explaining all the things youd imagine a nazi explains. Moslty about catholics, jews and blacks. My friends dad came out after awhile and told him we didn’t need to hear that shit. He sent us away, but, I never forgot the look this dude had in his eyes. It was like the look of complete bordem mixed with extreme anger all the time.
I’ll just make some statements and I’d bet we find common ground.
Catholic priests who molest children should be castrated then killed, as with any pedophile. Full stop.
The catholic church is the largest charitable organization in the world and has done a tremendous amount of good. They operate thousands of schools, hospitals and care facilities without incident.
Anyone who assisted in silencing victims or maneuvering offenders should lose whatever position they have and potentially be castrated and killed depending on circumstance.
Instances of horrific abuse (not strictly molestation) happen in MOST institutions at some point, especially ones that involve all ages. These should never be ignored.
I’ve never met a Catholic or general person who agreed with how the greater organization handled cases of abuse. It’s a horrible stain on an already stained institution and I hate that for everyone.
