Hey y'all, looks like the pope might be about to die

I do live in the area, I also am close with multiple victims. One of the worst of the offenders was at a church a couple of miles from my house and he tore a swatch of victims across our community for 15 years.
The AG did what they could, which wasn't much, since the Catholic Church has more power here than the gov't does. At least they did until this hit.

Which is exactly why these child molester priests will die happy and comforted, knowing they've been forgiven once they repented. The victims will remain tortured in their own personal hell, since how can you ask God, "forgive me for being raped?"
Sometimes religion is nothing more than a crutch for the worst of humanity. It's a "get out of responsibility free" card, since the "devil made me do it."
Why do you think it is that every serial killer or murderer on death row suddenly finds God after they've been sentenced? I prefer that the sin (in these sorts of heinous crimes) stay with the sinner and add to the stink of their rotten "souls".

ChadTower:
You've hit upon the main problem... very few of those involved have ever repented, and therefore even by their own standards they cannot be forgiven. Admission - contrition - forgiveness. We haven't seen either of the first two conditions from the individuals nor the institution.

Hence the reason why the State has laws that know one can't "repent" out off.

When I last check, Child Molestation was against the Law. Then if you say the Pope was pro-child molestation, then I assume the State Attorney Generals office is pro-child molestation too. As the Attorney Generals office did nothing as well.

A bit difficult for the State Attorney General's office to go after Law since he has conveniently been moved into the Vatican, a sovereign nation that might be a little bit reluctant to extradite.
