Freedom absolutism is great!

You can't take away my freedom to rape kids!

Estudillo ruled that requiring disclosure of information priests hear in the confessional infringes on their First Amendment right to practice religion and will force them to violate their sacred vows or face punishment by the state.

The church’s recorded propensity for rampant pedophilia legally demonstrates that they hold noting sacred other than pedophilia and other forms of abuse, making the judge’s ruling (among many other things) invalid. Ignore that idiot, Washington.

We're just thinking of the kids! Jeez!! Is that so hard to understand?? 😑

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

The mods in this community are so dumb. Gee, let's protect the child rapists, can't even think about making a comment that implies violence or it gets removed. Don't worry about context, you hear that everyone! Violence is bad ya'll no matter the context, even if someone tries to rape you!

Edit: For the record, when you come to remove this. I was raped as a child, so I have strong feelings about this for good reason. You have personal experience with rape, and you get to have an opinion on it. If you haven't and you think my response is over the top, then you can go fuck yourself. My entire life was ruined bcz of some asshole who wanted to diddle a fucking little kid.

Let's get this straight.

Psychiatrist are required to break doctor patient confidentiality if patient is a threat, right and report it.

Lawyers must report crimes to law enforcement, breaking confidentiality too.

But priests are 'sprcial' in the magic, secret telling closets?

Cruelty is the point. Innit.

Hooray! Abusers get to relieve themselves of the harm they’ve caused while protecting their ability to do it again. What a great country I live in.

FUCK!

I'm not a legal professional (merely an ill-informed amateur), and especially not an American one, but it seems to me like the judge's order makes a pretty convincing argument that the injunction is legally warranted.

Maybe we might consider that federal law might be the problem before we rush to accuse the judge personally of being a nonce?

We wont be free of groomers until we lock up every single pastor, priest, and every other Christian clergy in this country.

republicans have proven time and time again that they love children....in absolute most inappropriate way.
