The media and types like you have always had bias against not only the Catholic church but of Christianity itself. I've known that the Schools were the worst. Followed by the Police, Military and large Corporations. The problem with the media, particularly, the New York Times and the LA Times, they are definately blind to any other sexual abuses except the Church. In Orange County alone, we've had 500 coaches or people associated with the schools and other outside sports charged with sexual improper behavior. There are also 85000 registered sex offenders in LA alone. Where is the Press to sound the alarm? The press has done such a snow job on the people that no one including you believe, anyone else can be a sex offender. WRONG. Use your common sense and don't believe what you read..

We are what we "see" the world to be. We see the world and it is what we see. Roshomon is a b—- (removed by moderator).
Post traumatic stress disorder is a psycological diagnosis. On some level the body through the mind freezes if you will, like land scars after a brush fire The body is in a constant state of shock, hyper vigilant. etc.
What part of what I write don't you believe? I'm afraid to ask. I know I'm telling the truth as much of it as I know. You know I feel u maybe a survivor of similar abuse. I can ,undoubtedly, be wrong but something's up.

In the first place, of what relevance is victimization to adolescent thinking? Are you inferring that the former causes the latter?

As I have often said, there is absolutely no way on the internet to know who is and isn’t being truthful when it comes to stories people type up.

The reason I keep mentioning Cartoon-thinking and adolescent thought-process is that I keep encountering those phenomena in comments.

Lastly, I make it a practice to accept responsibility for all of the analysis I submit in comments. That’s why I put so much time and effort into them before I submit them.

P.S. let me correct myself. I do hold you responsible for your analysis or lack there of.

Pub if by any remote chance you are correct that my thinking is adolescent maybe it's because I was sexually used and abused at the ages of 13 and 16 by Catholic religious. And since I have suffered PTSD as a result perhaps my thinking is stuck at those years.
But maybe you too have your thinking stuck due to some traumatic event in your life. You seem stuck in an analysis that repeats again and again the words: " cartoon thinking" and "adolesense". And since you believe in an imaginary diety and I don't. Possibly it's you that adult thought has left behind.
Also I never even suggested it was you calling victims liars. or even attempting to make us appear as such. Contrary to what you may believe I do not hold you responsable for anything.

In regard to JR’s comments: Neat. If you can’t think straight and you’re called on it, you can claim ‘poetic license’. Although you have to be a poet to do that, as the term indicates. No room for it in serious analysis. Which is still what I’m going for.

Nobody made me ‘adjudicator’ of anything; I call them the way I see them and people can agree or disagree.

I don’t know what phantasm JR is swinging at with the “liars” bit but what’s new?

In regard to FAAF’s comments: Being a male is not the only prerequisite for priesthood; it’s the first one, but there’s rather a bit more to it. Kindly quote the Canon that states that being a male “is the only prerequisite”. You should have it written down right there in front of you, having checked your facts.

I can’t answer FAAF’s sophomoric question because it describes a situation that doesn’t exist. That is the province of Cartoon and Fantasy types, and as I’ve always said – that’s a realm I don’t traffic in. ‘Thinking’ doesn’t enter into it when you’re in Cartoon territory. As we are so often reminded.

Men are more than just humans with a penis.

Excuse me, folks. I did not know that the use of the word penis as a prerequisite for priesthood would be so misunderstood. So, once again. Bishop Finn needs a conscience to be a priest, as do all clerics. The only prerequisite for catholic clergy is to be a catholic in possession of a penis, according to Canon Law. Without a conscience, even with the a possession of a penis, a man is not a priest, no matter who ordains him, or how many big hats and expensive vestments he wears.
So, maybe some one can answer this for me: What are men without consciences doing on altars pretending to be priests? Come on, Pub, you'll think of something.

P.S. Are you Pub, the adjudecator of what is "grown-up" and what is not for anyone other than you?

Ever hear of poetic license? That's what Fit was going for.
If the whole world is full of adolescents and cartoon thinking who do you connect with Pub besides your imaginary friends? Is it a narrow or wide group of people? And who or what type are they? Do they ever wax poetical and when they do do you understand their allusions?
Look I am in shock that such crap could happen re Lynn. It's so easy to destroy victims reputations. Make sure we appear to be liars and that D.A.'s are liars too. I find it impossible to change my thinking when the facts are obscured by either "side" in this nightmare.
