a pedophile, not a priest, but a regular old sick *** pedophile goes into confession and confesses his sin of raping boys and girls and the priest absolves him, and tells him to turn himself in to the authorties. the pedophile doesn;t do this, and he will be held accountable in the eyes of god and go to hell. Ok I get that. But what about the boys and girls that have been raped and will probably be raped by this man who has decided that he will just go to confession. Some of you feel that as long as he will be held accountable for his actions when he dies that that is enough. My question is, is it enough for those boys and girls that are being violated and scarred for life, what about the ones who have already been violated and the ones who are yet to be violated? Doesn;t the priest have some sort of responsibilty to report such crimes, and if not, why? I think it makes the priest who is receiving the pedophiles confession just as guilty and sinful.
