Catholic Church to excommunicate priests for following new US state law

The Justice Department is investigating whether the new law violated the First Amendment.

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.

      Teaching has the most pedophiles, followed by music tutor, and priests/clerics are 3rd.

        Teaching might have the most reported pedophiles. (Might because there’s no citations)

        This comment below the post about how the Catholic Church will excommunicate those who report pedophiles may be… not as supportive for your argument as you might think.

          Could be more like they give children a safe space they can trust to confess, but I’m more on team they just want to cover up their own diddling.

        Yeah but is there a central leader for for teachers?

        There is for Catholics. They’re all pederasts. Or at least comfortable with pederasts

          It’s not like the pope or the catholic leadership is encouraging pedophiles. They’ve covered things up that happened, but it’s pretty wild to act like it’s some kind of pedo ring.

            Hahahaha yeah ok.

            Hundreds of millions of dollars spent to silence the countless victims of their systematic abuse but they’re not a pedo ring. lol

            😂

          By straight numbers I’m sure that’s the case, but i doubt its true by percentage. But to be honest I’m not sure if the study included parents.
