Any time it mentions kids or safety i get suspicious that it really means spying on us or giving a bunch of money to cronies.

It’s pretty hard to take you seriously tbh.

You got a lot of anger bud.

What are you even talking about.

It’s still way up from a year ago. The insane climb after the election was unsupported hype, which has been corrected. Say what you want about tesla, but the stock price looks pretty healthy.

My only real problem with the narrative in this thread is with distilling the catholic church down to pedophile ring. It’s super reductive, ignoring so much history and the world views of so many decent people in light of a single issue. But just to be clear, I get that it’s a serious issue and they did a very poor job in dealing with it.

Mad about what? Your uninformed and salty opinion? You aren’t the first edgelord I’ve met on the internet…

Bro the irony… you don’t understand religion but happily assume that it’s about pedophilia. I think you got a hard on for hating religion and have a hard time seeing anything else.

There is a difference between wanting to deal with things internally without involving authorities, and actively promoting pedophilia. But I’m not here to go to bat for Catholics, I’m just pointing out the difference.

Hold on, you seriously believe that the purpose of the catholic church is to promote pedophilia?

Not sure if you are just being an edge lord or if you are a moron.

I don’t mind you asking except that you are missing my point, which is that doctors have less patient confidentiality than therapists. I say this to contradict the original assertion that doctors report things, so priests should too, which is faulty logic. Comparing therapists to priests would be a better analogy in this context.

I guess I would define a pedophile ring as an organization whose purpose is to abuse children.

They have more patient confidentiality than doctors, but I’m not sure of the specifics.

More the point is that therapists don’t have the same obligations as doctors. Therapists can keep confidentiality of things that doctors aren’t allowed to. The guy i responded to was comparing priests to doctors, but a better comparison would be comparing them to therapists.

They have some obligations in cases of child endangerment or suicide, direct threats to others. I’m not sure of the details, if it’s similar expectations or what.

It’s not like the pope or the catholic leadership is encouraging pedophiles. They’ve covered things up that happened, but it’s pretty wild to act like it’s some kind of pedo ring.

By straight numbers I’m sure that’s the case, but i doubt its true by percentage. But to be honest I’m not sure if the study included parents.

Teaching has the most pedophiles, followed by music tutor, and priests/clerics are 3rd.
