To SNAP and other priest abuse victims

Reading an article in the LA Times I see the question about what Jesus would have done about priests who abuse.

Answer: Jesus would have defrocked each one instantly on the first allegation of abuse. He would have encouraged the victims to pursue criminal remedies and he would have financed the victim's legal and health/emotional costs through the Church.

Great thought wondering what Jesus would do. The Church IS paying dearly but the money isn't going to be used as you suggested. Too bad.

Thank you for your comment and for visiting! There is no question that Jesus would have mandated victim's legal and counseling costs from the very beginning of the abuse being reported to be paid by the Church, regardless of insurance or other issues. It is all so sad.
