The first article claims that the civil authorities were aware of the charges but decided not to pursue them, so what would you expect the Church to do? I suppose though that the Church has more information and thus has more responsibility.<br /><br />The second article repeats a common claim. Crimen doesn't actually demand silence "according to Canon lawyers." I'm sorry, but read paragraph 11. The fact that Church lawyers conclude that there's nothing evil there is no more surprising than the fact that my Catholic apologetics friends see nothing incriminating. And according to the BBC documentary children were admonished to remain silent in accord with Crimen. Latter Catholic lawyers come in after the fact and now want to tell us everyone was applying it wrong. Where were they decades back when kids were getting destroyed?<br /><br />But thanks for the links. I do like getting the additional perspective.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530680372103907969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-57132765686662171232010-10-21T17:46:19.825-04:002010-10-21T17:46:19.825-04:00I havent really been following this as much as I c...I havent really been following this as much as I could, but there was a recent spat between anti-Catholic Hitchens and Catholic Douthat that may interest you (both authors I admire deeply).<br /><br />See <a href="http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/correcting-christopher-hitchens/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/correcting-christopher-hitchens-ii/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
