[quote:Holy_Diver:MV8yMTY5ODI0XzM2Njg4NDkxX0MzRDE3REU1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 17431247:MV8yMTY5ODI0XzM2Njg4Mzk4X0JGNDJEM0M0] It's true that many abused go onto become abusers and that is sad indeed however kids need protection from these pedos and we all know sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. They can not commit another crime for many years after serving time but they are just ticking time bombs and most go on to commit more crimes. The victims become victimizers which is terribly tragic but it is more important to protect kids than to heap compassion upon these predators. By labeling it a psychological illness, this suggests medication and/or therapy can cure the condition. This is 100% bullshit. It is a crime and needs to be treated as such. Kids who are sexually abused have lifelong issues. How dare these Catholic douchebags continue to advocate for pedophiles. Jesus said what you do the children you do to me. No one seems to care about the word of Christ anymore, just about pretending they are powerful and somehow special and closer to God. [/quote] As you become more evolved, you realize that the worst criminals deserve a bit of compassion and that we are all victims here, victims of the seductions of the Adversary. Just because you haven't murdered someone or dropped a digit on a kid, doesn't mean you aren't worse than some of these people in your heart of hearts. God knows we are all vile and already damned. Christ knows he can redeem all of us. When you really, really look into the eyes of an evil person, you can see that they aren't so scary, they are usually pathetic and sad and if they only had the proper attention and care in their lives that society and family failed to provide, they would've been great.

The Catholic Archbishop of Durban, Wilfrid Fox Napier, has described paedophilia as a psychological "illness, not a criminal condition".
The South African cardinal told the BBC that people who were themselves abused as children and then abused others needed to be examined by doctors.
He was one of 115 cardinals who took part in the conclave at the Vatican to elect Pope Francis earlier this week.
He said he knew at least two priests, who became paedophiles after themselves being abused as children.
