from gaijin Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 05:39 (Agree/Disagree?) Great article. Absolutely no comparison. A TF spokesperson bringing up the Catholic Church is a pretty predictable and simple minded strategy but it ultimately only serves to prove how unacceptable and outrageous the Family appears when is compared to other religious organizations. Unfortunately, it also goes to show how lightly the Family has gotten away with things. Its pathetic. Berg requested sick videos and there is documented proof that he saw and commented on videos made with children. Could anyone imagine the Pope doing the same thing? No, of course not. Its a pity the vatican can't sue Borowick and her group for making statements like that. (reply to this comment)

from Actually Wednesday, February 09, 2005 - 23:17 (Agree/Disagree?) I think some in the Catholic Church did not actually take all necessary steps the first time around. It took scandal and it was discovered that there had been some covering and shuffling the accused priests. However, once the scandal becam public, the Catholic Church did take steps to cooperate with authorities. In the case of The Family, they have persisted in the face of this public scrutiny to deny, refuse cooperation, attempt to hush things, and try to drag their victims through the mud and call them liars.
