http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/345811Cardinal says pedophilia is an illness and not a crime so we should provide help to pedophiles and not punish them. Interesting perspective coming from a high ranking church official. I' m not attacking the Church here. This is the view of a man and not the religion or the organization. I just think that we allow people into positions of authority without truly knowing what they are capable of. Same can be said for the Ontario Labour Minister. If it is truly his views that men can"punish" their wives physically for perceived infractions, then he and this Cardinal need to be removed from their positions.
Religious leaders, politicians, judges, etc. so many people who along with the actual predators are responsible for failing to protect the vulnerable. Not to leave out the responsibility of the average person who needs to hold people in power accountable too.
