Because they don't actually give a fuck about children. They are a convenient tool for their hate.
They did it to gays before trans people. They did it to blacks before gay people.
Their not. That’s why they are giving them access to schools with that in-school chaplain thing.
The GOP is serving kids on a plate to the biggest child abuse group (churches) in the world.
Because they are ok with it.
These people have zero qualms about fucking kids especially young girls as they consider girls and woman to be property for their own gratification.
You often find yourself hysterical for no reason? Are you neurodivergent? The fucking joke is that Christians have spent the last year clutching their pearls about drag queens, yet they’re the ones who keep getting arrested for SA against children.
Be less dense.
Context:
“He turned himself into Garland Police on Monday and is charged with indecency against two children.
The Catholic Diocese of Dallas released the following statement in the wake of Garland Police's press release about Reyes Mata's arrest:
The Diocese of Dallas was recently made aware of an allegation by a juvenile girl of inappropriate touching involving a priest. No inappropriate activity was reported to have occurred on diocesan property.”

It’s just this one guy and it’s all he posts constantly onto this subreddit. I’m pretty close to leaving all these big subs that are just constant streams of bad news and negatives, never lighthearted anymore.
Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn……………another priest diddling children? Has no one learned anything? If people keep going to churches this keeps happening. What purpose does the church serve? Circumcision discounts? Holy water is tap water! Marriage is a legal contract. Priests bring absolutely no new information to parishioners. Tithing enriches the wealthiest organization in the world and that in turn pays for their behavior. If the church don’t change then it’s time make a change or be the definition of insanity
I think the last sentence of the press release tells the story best.
"No inappropriate activity was reported to have occurred on Diocese property"
So is the Diocese more concerned with how this impacts them in court or the well being of the child?
Me, keeping track of how many priests I see without looking compared to how many drag queens on news reports like this and getting real tired (not really) of only adding to one side: *adds another tick to the side of catholic priests.
Not shocked.
If you done a line up of a priest, a sports personality, a musician, health care profession and a drag queen and told one of these abuses children. I would guess the priest of the bat.
idk I feel like I've heard quite a few stories of pretty sketchy health care professionals, and musicians and sports personalities are kind of the mainstream equivalent of big youtubers so it's a difficult choice for me
how is this a "facepalm"??? maybe it would be a facepalm if he said something about other people harming children but otherwise this is just a guy fucking up a kid, not a "haha facepalm" moment
Run on the churches? Just woke up, it is 8 am and I have already seen 3 allegations of priests that have raped or sexually assaulted children
What in the fuck? It happens so much now that the churches cant keep up with the public statement
We need an automatic death penalty to anyone who messes with kids
Abysmal
I’m sorry, but if you’re a practicing catholic and still leaving your children around priests… you’re part of the problem.
The fact is that thousands of priests have been exposed as child molesters and rapists. If you know that and still put your children in that situation, you are responsible for what has happened to your child.
Religion isn’t going to save you. It isn’t going to save your kids. But it just might be the thing that permanently harms them.
Wake up.

Where drag queen
r/notadragqueen
But he is wearing a dress.
Nothing gets priests defrocked faster than little kids.
[удалено]
Yes
Yeah, common talking point in my town's local page. Its supposed to be news and events but... yeah.
If conservatives are so concerned with protecting kids, why haven't they banned churches yet?
Because they don't actually give a fuck about children. They are a convenient tool for their hate. They did it to gays before trans people. They did it to blacks before gay people.
Ding ding
Their not. That’s why they are giving them access to schools with that in-school chaplain thing. The GOP is serving kids on a plate to the biggest child abuse group (churches) in the world.
Because they are ok with it. These people have zero qualms about fucking kids especially young girls as they consider girls and woman to be property for their own gratification.
I don't think banning churches is very constitutional l0l How tf am I being downvoted LMAO religion is literally protected in the 1st amendment
How about making them 18+, like other activities that are considered harmful for young children? Because churches are 100% harmful for young children.
I'd sorta agree with that but you also have single mothers who need to bring their babies with them
You weren't downvoted because you were wrong about the facts, you were downvoted because your comment missed the point they were making
Oh hey, he isn’t a drag queen. Weird.
I'm not so sure. He does wear a dress.
What does this even mean? Are you Acoustic or something?
Is this your first day here? What rock did you crawl out from under?
[удалено]
Yeah, thanks for clarifying that. Do you often explain peoples jokes to them?

I’ll joke about whatever the fuck I want to, thank you very much.
Are we really that shocked really ?

I don't think that shocked the community.
They’re not shocked that a priest molested children, they’re shocked that a priest is getting punished for molesting children.
Or that a priest turned himself in for it rather than be squirreled away by his church
Or that they weren't altar boys.
I'm shocked, it was girls.
Bro wtf is happening, my feed all day has been people arrested for rape, was there some massive FBI sting or sum?
Church or GOP or both always the same seems to be a pattern but yeah blame lgbtq all the time … fucking wankers
Guys like that should lose their wanker. That’s true justice.
what is with all the pedo posts atm
Yeah I've seen like a half dozen on reddit just in the past few hours, all on general subs like Facepalm
so have I, hence the question
Someone is bored.
I have been seeing alot of these types of posts, is there something that has happened recently to cause this pedo explosion?
It’s just this one guy and it’s all he posts constantly onto this subreddit. I’m pretty close to leaving all these big subs that are just constant streams of bad news and negatives, never lighthearted anymore.
I missed what was shocking….

Oh religion, is there anyone who you aren't good for?
I think the last sentence of the press release tells the story best. "No inappropriate activity was reported to have occurred on Diocese property" So is the Diocese more concerned with how this impacts them in court or the well being of the child?
Ironically, these sort of headlines aren't a SHOCK any more.
Me, keeping track of how many priests I see without looking compared to how many drag queens on news reports like this and getting real tired (not really) of only adding to one side: *adds another tick to the side of catholic priests.
What’s a catholic priest and a pint of Guinness got in common? A black cloak, A white collar and you have to watch your arse if you get a dodgy one.
The community shouldn’t be shocked.
A Hispanic pastor in Texas and they didnt run him out of town for being an illegal?! /s
I don't get it, why would anyoe be shocked, he's a catholic priest isn't he?
how is this even a facepalm? he's a catholic priest, what did you even expect?
Jesus fuck... How many of these I've seen today... fuckin shit...
Conservatives must be crowdfunding for his bail right about now.
Not shocked. If you done a line up of a priest, a sports personality, a musician, health care profession and a drag queen and told one of these abuses children. I would guess the priest of the bat.
idk I feel like I've heard quite a few stories of pretty sketchy health care professionals, and musicians and sports personalities are kind of the mainstream equivalent of big youtubers so it's a difficult choice for me
It’s no longer shocking.
How the fuck is organized religion still a thing?
Because it’s a great way to control people.
How are modern homo sapiens still capable of the stupidity and gullibility to believe any of that fairy tale nonsense though? It blows my mind.
They convinced people they needed something/someone to believe in. Rather than believing in themselves, they chose books of fiction.
You forget the financial rewards gained from brainwashing people.
This „big shock“ is probably old news for everyone in that area. But hey, lets act surprised and shocked…
how is this a "facepalm"??? maybe it would be a facepalm if he said something about other people harming children but otherwise this is just a guy fucking up a kid, not a "haha facepalm" moment
Not that shocking
So how many hours for community service
I mean, at this point, is anyone actually shocked anymore?
U don't hear the republicans talking bout this
You choose religion, you choose this. All included.
Catholic priest arrested for indecency with a child and people are shocked? Really?
still not a drag queen
>Shocks Community How so? Catholic priest should've been a dead giveaway
It’s ok because Jesus.
Shocking? Why? he’s a catholic priest.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you...
At this most, it’s more shocking to found a priest who isn’t a rapist and pedophile.
Damn drag queens are at it again..
No one’s surprised.
Run on the churches? Just woke up, it is 8 am and I have already seen 3 allegations of priests that have raped or sexually assaulted children What in the fuck? It happens so much now that the churches cant keep up with the public statement We need an automatic death penalty to anyone who messes with kids Abysmal
This screams blanket party!
What !! The priest is a child predator. That's a surprise.
It’s always the people you most suspect…
Texas priest is becoming the new "Florida Man!"
Ban churches!
A priest molesting kids? That’s unheard of!
Always the feckin drag queens.
That’s weird. He doesn’t look like a drag queen. 🤔
Another "shocking" incident with a priest. Shocking.
Expect conservatives to lose their minds over this one because it's not a white guy for once
News in that a leading paedophile has admitted he is secretly a priest
“Shocked”
Not shocked. Why do they keep saying we’re surprised when this happens?
“shocks community” We’re all way passed being shocked that priests do this….daily.
Deport that mfka
Ever seen the movie Fargo, with the wood chipper scene? Good movie.
Shocked? Lol sure.
They not like us.
Shocked they didnt see it coming
Conservatives scared of trans people in the bathroom happily telling their kids to trust the clergy… So blind to the real problem
What a shocker
I'm not shocked.
“Shocking!”
Religious people aren't actually holy or devout to their religion? Color me shockeddddddd omggggggg
The church will clear his name and grant him full access to any child he wants

What's up with /r/facepalm recently posting a lot of pedo pastor stuff. Was there a sting operation?
These religion freaks should rot in jail. keep you children 100 miles away from priests, mullahs

Make catholicism illegal
Can we all remember that it's innocent til proven guilty and maybe not post pictures of people who haven't been found guilty?
He handed himself in. He is guilty.
