    I mean, so if my religion says I can diddle kids and kill republicans, is that legal now?

      It’s seem that two classes of people pedophiles protected in the country are priests & billionaires.

        They just got a lot less obvious about it over the years. Fewer “compounds” and more “congregations” and “constituents”

              Dunno if it’s New York, but one of our Supreme Court justices is part of a very culty sub-sect of Catholicism. It’s Barrett.

          Just because someone gets to do it doesn’t mean it’s legal. This mentality gives justification/defense to these acts.

          Specifically, this is about forced reporting of sex abuse against children to authorities, not about the act itself.

            Just because someone gets to do it doesn’t mean it’s legal.

            Legal or illegal is immaterial. Who is punished for it, and who is protected from punishment is what matters.

      In the like 40% chance you’re actually dumb enough to ask this unironically, no, what this means is if you work a confessional booth as part of your religion and somebody admits to diddling kids and killing republicans in the past tense then you not saying anything about it is legal.

        Not only is it legal to keep quiet, you’ll face consequences from your religious institution if you report what you know.

        I know what it means.

        It the law only applies to some people.

          It literally doesn’t, that’s kind of the point of the ruling.

            The ruling allows churches to ignore child abuse. This ruling was BAD.

              Okay sure, but why do you have to make false statements in response to the bad ruling? Why do you get upset when people correct you for that?

                  That its legal to rape and murder, you think thats a factual statement? That catholic priests are gaining special privileges by not facing charges for a law specifically targetting confessionals? You think these are all true?

                    You must be very religious to defend these child fuckers like you are.
