Reply to comment by warrant2k in Defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy still runs charity for kids by kangarooturd

Conservatives don't actually give a fuck about people's welfare or safety, they just want to live in their right-wing alternate reality where they and people like them never do anything bad, and the only bad stuff happens far away to and by those filthy "other" people. And they're willing to sweep every god damn thing they can't blame on the "other people" under the rug to keep pretending, no matter how many actual real-world problems it causes.

The Pope JUST SAID that they are going to continue to review charges of abuse and if it raises to a level they find compelling, they will turn the person in now. But note, the church is the one who decides if the child abuse is to a level they find unacceptable.

That is a revsion to the 2019 policy. Before that, it was "cover it all up and hide the accused". For 200 years that was the policy.

“What makes you think he was falsely accused?”

Probably the fact that it was a random board of religious people who made the judgement of “guilty” instead of using actual forensics to determine culpability.

“He was fired”

Being fired doesn’t mean you are guilty. It just means that keeping you around would make that group “look bad”. It’s a publicity thing. Aka societal manipulation.

“Given the Catholic Church and its priests actions surrounding rape”

It’s odd that you think that the Catholic Church is more likely to commit rape compared to other random people. I have yet to see any evidence which suggests that the Catholic Church has the monopoly on rape.

“He was accused….then continued to work with children”

A person should stop trying to help others if they’ve ever been falsely accused of a crime. Your logic is undeniable. /s

You’re basing this entire thing around an accusation that wasn’t proven in any way shape or form using any evidence based forensics or analysis or any legitimate standard.

Talk about mob mentality and mob justice huh?

But I guess people only care about due process when it’s themself getting the short end of the stick…….sigh….

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Too big for Switzerland? Credit Suisse rescue creates bank twice the size of the economy by Kl--------k

I'm just another wage slave who's spending power has decreased by 10% in half a year, I am just going off what can be learned from what economists say and what seems reasonable to expect from past experiences. Pretty much just as you do.

I just don't see, specifically regarding the fed rates, what else they could have done; because pumping trillions more into the banks is exactly what ended us up here.

> Play by their rules

A criminal defendant is not presumed guilty in an inquisitorial system. Nevertheless, since a case would not be brought against a defendant unless there is evidence indicating guilt, the system does not require the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE that is fundamental to the adversarial system.

Canon law is a inquisitorial system. Hence the word inquisition.

“Judging by the history of the church”

Are churches more likely to not bring a guilty person to justice compared to non-churches? I was pretty sure people with agendas exist in both groups. Non-church people vs church people are generally equally full of shit. Because it’s both filled with “people”.

“Guessing you’re a churchy person”

Nope. But I don’t have to be religious to say “Every person has a right to a fair investigation before their life is destroyed”.

“What about the kids”

What part of “Do a fair investigation” sounds to you like “ruining a child’s life is okay”???

You’re taking tons of random shit out of the ether and trying to put those ideas into what I’ve said. And it doesn’t make any sense because I haven’t said anything of the sort.
