This morning I watched the other Church Militant interview. That interview gets a ditto+++++++ of what I wrote above. The parent sends her 17 year old daughter to live in a strangers house in another state and the girl gets kissed on the lips and gets flowers when she arrives! Incredible idiocy. I only watched it that far. I get the picture.
I agree. But there tends to be a correlation between people wanting to be innocent and avoid even dealing with perversion, sɛҳuąƖ matters, porn, predatory creeps and a level of naivety that is "incredible idiocy". There is a certain "type" of victim here. I watch them interviewed and I never see my wife, or my daughters or my many many nieces (none of whom wear denim skirts or have ever entered a convent).
They are far less naïve than these women, but all married with children and practicing their faith.
How does one both bring up children free of any discussion of things, phrases, behaviours that would allow them to spot a pervert or creepy priest, whilst at the same time giving them the mental tools and experience to spot a creepy priest.
It's like being a cop in the inner city and needing to deal with the dead babies of drug addicts, hookers, transsɛҳuąƖ hookers and other scuм. You are not going to be able to live the life of a monk spiritually whilst at the same time handling the questioning, arrest, bail, interviews, tip offs of such people.
What alerts me to this naivety is that when a priest exposes himself they don't immediately leave the building and take a taxi to the nearest motel or parishioner's house.
