Question by Pure Atheist: Is it now the position of all Catholics that adults raping children is NOT a crime?
http://news.yahoo.com/south-africa-cardinal-says-pedophilia-not-crime-155418854.html

“A South African cardinal who helped elect Pope Francis this week has told the BBC pedophilia is an illness and not a crime.”

So according to the Divine Truth issued out of the mouth of a morally perfect Catholic Cardinal, favored by God, is that pedophilia is a curable addiction just like alcoholism and homosexuality!!!

Priests that rape little boys should not be charged with any crime, it is the Priest who is the VICTIM!!!

Victims of the Pedophile Plague sweeping through every country on Earth in which Catholic Priests, Bishops and Cardinals can be found!!!

Don’t charge child rapists with a crime…send them to treatment!!!

Oh yeah Catholics are trying to fix the problem…and the problem is that in the civilized world adults raping children is a crime.
