Society & Culture - 9 July 2006

In my country Ireland, there has been many many cases of horrific sexual abuse involving catholic priests.

While I accept this was done by a minority, I cannot accept that despite those at the top (bishops and higher) knew what was going on but never reported the cases to the police. Instead these priests were simply moved on to different parishes were they inflicted more suffering on innocent children.

It was only when many of these children grew up and got the courage to speak out were these evil monsters brought to justce.

Why do you think the bishops never reported the priests involved to the police ?

And do you think these bishops should also be arrested for failing to report these monsters ?

Finally if the buck stops at the top, ie the pope , how can we seriously respect and take advice from a man whose organisation protects paedophiles from the law ?

It seems no need since some say that as long as you believe you are save. Others will just stick to their religions or sect and say that they're already Ok.
Others say that life has only meaning when there is death. Is that so?
Oh if it is all of the above its devoid of reason & logic & if that be true then I regret that I'm alive today.

My own theory is that the point of life is for a person to put a dent on history (whether good or bad) and does one or more incredible things in their lifetime....for example a person who invents a cure for cancer, or a person who leads an army into victory, or a person who starts a fashion trend, or a person who once flew an airplane and killed 300 people with a single bomb, or a person who invented post-it sticky notes, or a one-legged person to walk across a country with crutches, or a person who won miss america, or a person who found an important ancient artifact, or a person who won any large competition, or a person who was the first to do something extraordinary. Everytime a person is being talked about after they die, whether in a good way or bad, these people stick a quarter in their immortal meter. So all the mundane jobs people do like being a mail-man, accountant, stripper, truck driver, mechanic ,will never allow a person to fulfill one's life (that is---to be special)
