The extreme punishment in that case would be meted out to the young people they’d be working with in Brazil or wherever.

@ davidg:

Same thing. Would a criminal A report criminal B, knowing that once arrested, criminal B would spill the beans on criminal A? I don’t think so.

Individuals are responsible for the actions. Fine. But it is the Curia that is responsible to help bring these people to justice, and by that, I don’t mean covering up their actions by shifting them from parish to parish. They should simply be reported to the police.

The Catholic Church – in this case the Curia – has a lot to answer to, including why it placed Godwin Scerri in a children’s home after he escaped from Canada on being accused of similar child-abuse cases.

Oh, and the Curia should also issue a statement sayiing whether or not the legal fees of Pulis and Scerri are being funded by the church coffers. People have a right to know.

People who work hard for the welfare of the children in their care do not rape them, abuse them, rob them of their innocence and submit them to life-long scarring – be it emotional, physical or mental.

Nothing excuses the actions of abhorrent people like Carmelo (Charles) Pulis and Francesco (Godwin) Scerri.

Politics and bones have nothing to do with my comment. You can contest my facts or my reasoning. The rest is empty words.

Comments like this leave me literally speechless.

David, trust me, seek help.

It seems that’s the comment that cheeses you off most, La Redoute. Very revealing, don’t you think?

No big problem here – live decently with the skills inherited at birth, live within the boundaries of upbringing, look for the truth and when the lights go out, if there is an ever-after, enjoy .
