And if you want a technical answer, sodomy is a personal sin and as such is strictly the business of the sinner and his confessor, so it would be impossible to indict him on it. Things used to be different in that regard, but not since the 19th century if memory serves. |
Depends on what you mean by "ending someone's life" and, in the secular sense, sodomy of a young boy is rape and I don't care what the evalutation of the church is on the matter. They are not above the law and I hate the way that the church has been able to manipulate it until recent times. Further, it's not so "2002" as they're are still a lot of ongoing cases and still a lot of church officials trying to weasel out of they're responsibility. To be honest, I don't like your cavalier attitude about the matter. Also, Kevin is right. The catholic church is trying to break the unwritten rule of "separation of church and state" by siding with and endorsing the new moral majority Republicans. In my view, this only further serves to further polarize me away from the republicans.
