Literally no one should be shocked.

Conservative, Church, Children, Crime.

Absolutely no one is surprised.

It's not a religion, it's a pedophile ring.

For scale, I need to know how much is an "acceptable" amount...

Remember when Sinead O'Connor got vilified for denouncing this?

That was wild. She even had to go to mental facility for a while because of it.

Shocking! Well, not that shocking.

And they were arrested, right? Right?

I mean at this point that's my first thought when I think organized religion, so yeah, not shocking. Expected, even.

And the Catholic church will remain. There are still enough poor and uneducated nations to prey on in the world. When there are none left they will move exclusively to their private hedge fund business.

The tragic and devastating thing is, that I just can't find this surprising anymore.
Does anyone really still expect other news from the christian church in general and the Catholic church especially?

Is "sexual abuse in church" still "news"?

Investigation team: "We found 2,395 allegations against 800+ abusers"

This thread: how is this shit even news, priests fuck kiddies we know duh

And they wont spend any time in prison. The only unknown is why. Why are they not in prison, all of them including those that knew and did nothing. This is an utter failure of justice around the world. The church should disappear into a mountain of debt forced to sell all its assets and be removed from society.

No, the church will be allowed to deal with it internally. What means they will probably transfer the abusers as punishment to a new place. Where they keep the abuse allegations under wraps (because its bad publicity) so the abuser has another chance in a new environment of unsuspecting parishioners to abuse.

Nothing new

This is my shocked face 😑

In other news the water is wet.
