[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3006441, member: 18914"] I am a Catholic and this horrendous situation, if it is true, is nonetheless not representative of the Catholic priesthood. It is a good opportunity to see anti-Catholic prejudices come pouring out. I put this in the same category as when legal gun owners commit murder - it's bad, it happens, it doesn't represent legal gun owners as a group, nor should it prejudice anyone's view of all legal gun owners. As to forgiveness, anyone can seek it and it will be given if sincerely sought but that doesn't remove the need to answer to the law or to make reparation if possible. In this case, if the penal law isn't an issue, the moral law still is. I for one hope that, if this is true, the clearly disturbed priest can find his way back to his faith and a devotion to holy living. Many saints arose from a personal history of various sins - the Church exists to welcome repentant sinners back not to celebrate the wonderfulness of the righteous (nor to validate sinful behavior in the name of being tolerant and open minded).
