Sadly to many will not agree with me but what todays society needs is the exact opposite of a God block. I believe we would all be far better off if more people would turn to God and His teachings.
Ill bet coconuts to carbuncles this so called block will not effect Islam. This will be a Christian filter. Even if it does it will leave the person with a skewed view of events or the causes of them.
Ratzinger signed his name on a letter protecting a child molester.
There was a letter encouraging counseling over criminal prosecution, which reflected the best (secular, mind you) medical and psychological knowledge of the day.
It wasn't an issue of protecting the man, but of taking the best response to him as prescribed by the relevant authorities of the day.
Indeed, pedophiles skulk around in everyday life and every occupation.
I think this is the only true thing you've said.
But the Catholic Church has been proven to have LOTS and LOTS of them.
You've really drunk the media Kool-Aid, haven't you? This statement is demonstrably false, as repeated studies have shown. AT MOST, about 1.8% of priests are abusers; the rate of offense by teachers may be as much as 100 times higher.
And the offenders have been protected by the church and moved around from place to place, only to offend again.
True in the past, though not quite to the degree that the newspapers would have you believe. Still, regrettable.
But what about in this decade? Here we see that the Church is now at the forefront of taking harsh, active response to allegations of abuse, in sharp contrast to how other institutions and industries are handling similar matters.
Addendum: That 1.8% abuse rate is actually remarkably low, lower than in most other professions where the phenomenon has been studied. Even secular counselors offend at a slightly higher rate, though if one allows for error one can basically say that the rates are the same.

Hey it got us this far;)
It's the Hammer and Sickle.
The hand with lightning is the hammer. The RED hand is the sickle.
By George you're right!
I turned on my Liberal block and the only news feed I got from Canada was the National Post.
Heh, I'm surprised they haven't declared the NP a hate site yet;)

Catholic children need something like this to protect them from pedophile priests - Cock Block.

You neglected "pedophiles employed at Maple Leaf Gardens"
and "pedophiles who are members of the Green Party".
and "pedophiles who consider themselves superior to those RW wing-nuts".
