Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:7
"Canon law should be re-written to institute a global zero-tolerance policy against priests who
commit sexual abuse, a clerical abuse survivor told attendees at the World Meeting of Families.
Marie Collins, a former member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, spoke on Aug. 24 as part of a panel titled “Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults.”
The panel was originally intended to be moderated by Cardinal Sean O’Malley, OFM Cap. of Boston, but he withdrew from participating in the pastoral congress due to an investigation into sexual harassment occurring at the diocese’ seminary. O’Malley is the president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors."
....The point here missed is that if one had Scripture as the rule of
faith, one wouldn't need canon law. The men of God in positions of authority would already be removing from the Church rolls the child molesters...but when they write the canon laws, and themselves are corrupt....then you get what you're getting now...corruption and cover-up at the highest levels.
