Topic: Father Merrin here. My statement on His Holiness The Pope's letter regarding child abuse by priests.
Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U started this discussion 7 years ago#77,949
So, Pope Francis has addressed the distasteful matter of the aberrant sexual behaviour of a relatively small number of priests. In his letter he describes the "heart-wrenching pain of these victims" that were "long ignored, kept quiet or silenced". He goes on to say "With shame and repentance, we acknowledge as an ecclesial community that we were not where we should have been, that we did not act in a timely manner, realizing the magnitude and the gravity of the damage done to so many lives. We showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them."
That last sentence is where I feel we in the Catholic Church must now begin to right the wrong. It is incumbent upon every Catholic priest to now reach out to what His Holiness calls "the little ones". As he says, we "abandoned" them. It is now time to go to them and gather them once more to us.
I call upon all Catholic priests to go out into the schools, the orphanages, the kindergartens and the broken homes and extend their helping hands to the children. Shower them with love and compassion. Let's start now to amend this terrible wrong that has been done by a tiny number of sinful priests.

Your kind of love is to molest children.

@previous (C)
I've seen it, he doesn't admit to being a pedo there. I remember the full exchange, the guy (you I guess) kept fucking up his image posting. That's what TG meant by "Got it right this time". He was referring to you trying and failing to post the picture.
Is that the only 'evidence' you have or is there more? Because if so that's really weak.

Lol what is it about angry projecting pedophiles that makes them illiterate? :)))
God bless everyone in here who responded positively to my rallying cry. I hope and trust you are all out spreading the Lord's love to the little ones, as His Holiness decreed. Have a blessed day!

> You should TG, its not good for a child's mental health.
This is a frankly disturbing post because it shows that you think your actions with children affect only their mental health. Why did you say nothing of the physical harm you also cause them?
You urgently need God to heal you of your disgusting perversion, not to mention your obliviousness to the damage it causes children. I shall pray for you.

Blessed is the humam child, boy or girl, that opens his or her heart to Jesus. And hears the voice of god at such young and tender age. Truely, blessed children in the nation of god.
