There are certain issues involved.

Let's cut to the core. There are two positions: positivism and naturalism.

The positivist says that law is what is written and there is no morality or
amorality in rules, and they are the sole source of normative certainty.
Naturalists, on the other hand, say that something is right or wrong regardless
of what the law says, as there are atemporal and universal concepts. If I read
correctly, you embrace the former school of thought.

So, what you are saying, in summary, is that if the law does not mandate to take
action against a kiddie fiddler outside of a particular institution, then there are
issues, gray areas, and it is debatable, on a case by case basis, the substance
of culpability and, henceforth, how to proceed.

Correct?

Robbie thinks we're blaming him for the child abuse cover-up.

change the record, Robbie has kicked you all over the forums,
it's so one sided it borders on embarrassing but alas you are so stupid you do not even realise it.

I am not entirely sure I understand what you are saying as you are using some terms that I am unfamiliar with. My text was not an attempt to address law or whether law has an inherent morality or not but a practical perspective on some of the issues that have a bearing on the reporting of child abuse for ministers of religion and what may have been the reasons for non reporting where law was not mandatory.

The issue is not that of taking action against criminality but of reporting and dealing with criminality in view of such things like penitent privilege and corroborative evidence on one hand and the need to protect those who are vulnerable on the other.

I see them more as a kind of Zombie apocalypse, FMF bites divegeester and he becomes a zombie, divesgeester had a bite at Randolph and now he's a zombie and so the go on slobbering and drooling their way through cyberspace cloning as they go.

These were the issues that I put on the table for reasonable rational debate and which FMF contorted into his vile and slanderous accusation of defending child abuse and I thank you for the opportunity to present them here.

I have never accused you of defending child abuse, as you well know. I have confronted you for defending and seeking to justify the cover up of child abuse.

Yes just a single nooky bite to the neck and jivejeester becomes a rabid clone of his zombie master, 'you seem rattled Robbie', 'oh it seems that I touched a nerve', 'you're such a juvenile Robbie', 'Im telling the elders on you Robbie', drool drool drool. Even Randy Andy is now a clone.

Does your organization [1] foster an atmosphere in which pedophiles can come forward or "repent" safe in the knowledge that their crimes won't be reported, or does your organization [2] foster an atmosphere in which children who are victims of sex crimes can come forward safe in the knowledge that the adults around them will report their abusers to the authorities? It can't really be both. So which is it? [Bump]

Yawn.

Still going on? What a sad life you lead, FMF.
