Catholic Diocese Kicks Out Boy Scouts, Keeps $$ They Raised

[TheBox]

He's actually correct. The level of philes and sexual assaults amongst the clergy is actually slightly lower than the average. It just receives massively disproportionate media attention.

Maybe that's related to the fact that the church, to the highest level, was covering that shit up.

Most people who realize an employee is a child molester turn them in to the police. In the Catholic Church, you shuffle the guy off to a different church.

Well it doesn't hurt that the entire organization tries to cover them up, so you probably don't even hear of half, whereas schools will gladly call the teacher out publicly and fire them.

this is the nicest way the catholic church has ever fucked a bunch of young boys

Ahahaha!

Planned Parenthood gets alot of tax breaks (as well as the extra plus of tax payer funds) and they're clearly a political org/business.

Are you as upset about that?

If you notice I said "actions such as these", and I can't think of any comparable actions by Planned Parenthood.

Both CC and PP do issues advocacy, but I am not talking about that so if you'd like to, please start another thread.

I don't understand the connection to the Catholic church here...why are the Scouts even with them?

We're calling the church a "sponsor" of the pack, but sponsor implies they pay for shit. But here we've got the Scouts out selling popcorn to fund their activities, but then apparently giving that money to the church? Like the church is some kind of bank?

Doesn't compute. What was the church ever doing for the scouts in the first place?

lol. That'd be a great PR campaign...

The Catholic Church: We rape slightly less Children than the other guys.

And for the record, I believe what you just said is Bullshit. Catholic Church is a terrible, disgusting Organization where Child Abuse is rampant.

fuck the vatican and the catholic church. burn in hell you c u n t s,

 

[elmo_1968]

Fools and their money soon get parted. Tough shit for them.

Not sure if you're serious, but I doubt the highest levels of the Catholic Church think publicly ripping off a bunch of teenage boys is worth $2,800

Please don't make this a thread about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

Expand it to CC's role in charity if you like, but there are plenty of other threads about sex abuse or start your own.

I don't completely understand either. The article refers to the diocese as a sponsor at one point and the chartering org at another point. It points out that the Girl Scouts operate differently, with each local org controlling their own money and owing their own equipment.

I would infer the chartering org in the Boy Scouts takes in the money and disburses it.

Can anyone enlighten us on this point?

Someone is in denial.

Someone isn't concerned with the truth of the matter:



http://www.hofstra.edu/pdf/about/administration/provost/hofhrz/hofhrz_s03_shakeshaft.pdf

Shakeshaft said that "... the physical sexual abuse of students in [public] schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by [Catholic] priests."[4] She estimated that about 290,000 students were victimized between 1991 and 2000.[

make no mistake.... Bukowski is not interested in the facts.
He prefers his wells poisoned.

Not true.


There is the one 'shuffling' example that got alot of attention with the press regarding the church.
And your concern about it only happening in the church is unfounded.... Shankshaft points out many more examples of shuffling happening in the public school with offenders.

you're a fundie, Bukie.
You have nothing more than passion that's fueling your engines.
Thought checked out along time ago.

To me the diocese de-chartering BSA is like me breaking up w/ my girlfriend b/c of her politics, that's my call.

But the diocese keeping the money BSA raised is like me telling my gf she can't have the shoes she left at my house, it is nothing but a little bitch move.

I don't know all of the particulars.
But I do know that you're basing all of your knowledge on it off of one article you linked.

I do know that the truth is usually more nuanced.
