Equivocation as usual

But it can and did pressurise victim of abuse to keep quite and more the
priest to somewhere else. As happened in your own parish according to
you. Anywhere else the person in charge eg a head master etc would have
called the police. Not called the Bishop and got the criminal moved to
where he could start again

As usual you are equivocating.

If they are informed by the victims and the church. Why did the church
not take the victims to the police and insist the Priest submit himself
to a trial?

Yes that is a LOT of evidence. See the recent report in Ireland

> Victims have stated that they were abused.

Yes. What is more in many cases they can corroborate each others
evidence because most Catholic priests were multiple offenders.

Very few as the Church hushed up most of them THAT is the real abuse.

Yes.

Yes and the victims are also terrorised in to silence.

Which is what is happening now the victims have broken their silence.

However in the case of a teacher the school would not move them they
would call the police themselves. NOT cover it up and threaten the
victims with everlasting hell etc.

They have not that the evidence thanks to the church.

WOW!!!! You really are in denial!

The victims were usually under the impression that if they went against
the all powerful church they would reside in hell for ever. (All the
Mafia can do is kill you) the Catholic conditioning is far more
powerful..... you are an shinning example of this.

Even as a "lapsed Catholic" you fight their corner and can not blame
them for the multiple serial pedophiles they protected.

Sounds about right. Question is should we lock up all Catholic clergy
on principal? It would be a reasonable position.
