Well as a Catholic who might be called to the priesthood that’s swell but I’d do it whether the Pope says it’s mandatory or not.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79373617 Go hug a child molester then because they have a special place in heaven according to the "Pope". FYI the seat is vacante and has been for a while. Quoting: peachy2k I assure you that my sentiment towards child molesters, especially ones in respected, trusted positions like a priest, is very similar to yours if not more anger and outrage-fueled. I remember when my priest, a good man, Father Mark Bachmeier of Oregon, told our Church after mass one day that our archdiocese was declaring bankruptcy due to the lawsuits. I was on the altar with my friend altar serving. You could cut the tension with a butter knife. People cried. Some people stood up and walked out. I have relatives who left the Church over it, the coverups were the last straw. I felt betrayed but mostly I felt sorry for Father Mark, who I know to be a great man and who half the Church was glaring at in disgust. I also felt bad for the vast majority of Catholics who are good people.
