    Are you sure it’s not because you’ve had to pay billions of dollars in settlements for priests raping children?

    Are you sure that’s not why?

      I don’t think the victims are getting paid that much. Our society has gone from “if someone powerful did something to you then you did something wrong” to “okay maybe they were wrong for that” but we’re still a ways away from “and they should pay a real price.”

          Whoa, that’s pretty interesting.

          Consequences are a bitch, yeah. It’s not enough, to be honest.

        That wasn’t a comment on the politics of the situation, the church just had to pay $800 million in California in restitution for their crimes. The Catholic church has spent billions of dollars settling lawsuits and criminal cases.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.
