If God was real, then he must have allowed this child-raping scumbag, as well as all of his other earthly representatives who are child-raping scumbags to sexually abuse children with impunity, all of which reflects very badly on him.

Even if he hadn't turned out to be an abuser, I'd question the wisdom of allowing someone to take in that many kids. How can you possibly provide that many with the individual care and attention they need? This feels like it could never be better than a 'quantity over quality' form of virtue signalling.

"His reputation as a priest..."

Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner who survived the horrors of Apartheid and helped to end that system of brutality, has died at age 90.

Seventy. Children.

*Seventy.*

For fuck's sake, abuse would be a foregone conclusion here even if there *wasn't* a priest involved.

Given what we know about clergy and children and have known for some time (not to mention the seemingly-daily instances of child sexual abuse by clergy), why does it always come as such a shock to the believers when those horrific activities come to light? Are they simply not paying attention?

"His reputation as a priest allowed him to get away with his crimes."

Christian privilege rampant among the "godless commies."

The old disgusting wolf was fucking the innocent lambs while the sheep lined up to be shorn. The stupid sheep will now gladly invite another wolf into the pasture once this one goes to prison. Wash, rinse, repeat. I can't stand it, year after insufferable year. When will they learn??

I think that there are many, many well-founded reasons to mistrust the Russian justice system, but if anything of this is true, I'd say let him freeze his balls off somewhere north of Novosibirsk while working in an ice-cube factory.

I wonder what the difference is between molestation and rape under Russian law. It seems odd to separate the two charges.

Shouldn't we wait to hear what the Holy See has to say before rendering judgment?
