Agreed. When you have the power to stop something terrible from happening and know it's happening, then you're just as bad as the person doing it.

And let's face it, the pope could easily stop that shit.

I disagree with this too.

Someone who has the power to stop something but chooses not to should not be held accountable.

Like it or not they have the right to decide what they should and should not do.

Sure, someone who chooses not to stop something bad from happening can be called a selfish, monumental douche who doesn't deserve anyone's respect, but that's really it. Like I said before, you can't punish someone for having morals that conflict with your own... no matter how much you don't like it, you have to grin and bare it. It should not be possible for any law to hold them accountable for anything... regardless of how heinous the crime is or how easy it would have been for them to stop it.

are you reading what we're saying about the pope's personal role in creating a systematic ministry of coverups?

we're not talking about someone who notices his friend smoke a joint here, we're talking about someone who, faced with his employees committing one of the most appalling crimes imaginable - the rape and torture of children (don't call it "abuse" by the way, that's much too soft a word), deals with it by instructing them to talk to nobody but him, if you talk to anyone else about it (the police) you'll be thrown out of the church and you'll go to hell, bullying and coercing the victims into signing secrecy agreements, and shifting people he knows to be dangerous to new parishes. is there no law about conspiracy to conceal a crime? how about intimidation of victims? according to you "it should not be possible" for the law to do anything about this sick, evil slug of a man.

finally, comments like this:
"Like I said before, you can't punish someone for having morals that conflict with your own..."
make me think you were reading a different thread and replied in this one by mistake
