Not a drag queen. Not a trans person.

One year in jail for raping a 5 year old.

All the stories like this just solidify my decision to leave the Catholic church and become an atheist... it's unbelievable how this is basically a slap on the wrist and the justice system is OK with it.

There's no way he hasn't done this and worse in the past

He plead guilty to get off of OTHER charges related to the long term sexual abuse of a child and will get 5 years probation. Fucking ridiculous.

After the many thousands of cases should we not ban contact with priests and children? They clearly can’t be trusted.

Like, in the realms of priest sexual abuse, this is pretty mild.

It's terrifying that that is something we can say with a straight face.
