Well, If you bothered reading any of my previous posts you wouldn't really be asking me that question. I think that paedophiles should never see the light of day again, whether that means locking up for life or death, I couldn't care less. And of course I would never put my child any where near a paedophile. Besides the fact that I'm not religious so my son will never be an alter boy.

what's more important? the priest's rehabilitation? or yur child's safety??

At this stage I doubt very much that they'd be letting paedo priests back up on the alter.

well you'd think that after the first cases of pedophilia in the church surfaced decades ago, but actually, if you read th stories, it seems the church is actually protecting pedophiles, and they just send the pedo's to new churches. In fact alot of the priests that abused children in the UK and US are now serving in africa and south america, where they're less likely to get caught. doesn't that make you feel better about the catholic church?

You think that just because I'm Irish I would have anything good to say about the Catholic Church? You're not telling me anything I don't know already and I never attend mass anyway. Don't really understand why you've gone on this kinda tangent though.

umm, no, i didn't assume you were catholic, and I myself am catholic, so if you think i'm some how biased against the church, i'm not. IN fact yu could call me an "insider". I was raised catholic, went to CCD every wednesday up til my confirmation.

(and just for the record i wasn't sexually abused)
