Catholic bishop who ignored child sex abuse cases calls Pride parades ‘harmful for children’

One person responded, "I would trust my four kids more at a pride parade than in a Catholic Church. For so many reasons."

By Daniel Villarreal Sunday, June 2, 2019

On Saturday, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, a Roman Catholic leader who by his own admission ignored incidents of child sexual abuse when they occurred in his church, tweeted the following message:

A reminder that Catholics should not support or attend LGBTQ “Pride Month” events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals. They are especially harmful for children.

The Huffington Post explains why this is particularly rich coming from Tobin (who has made various anti-gay comments in the past):

Tobin’s particularly harsh warning stunned many, especially given the Catholic Church’s history of child sexual abuse. The U.S. Catholic Church revealed Friday that allegations of child sex abuse by clerics more than doubled to 1,455 in its latest 12-month reporting period, and that spending on victim compensation and child protection efforts topped $300 million.

1. One person responded, "I would trust my four kids more at a pride parade than in a Catholic Church.

Boy, do I agree with that statement. The gay people I have know care for children, they don't harm them. Read history, it was gay men in the 80s who came forward and took care of babies with HIV that even nurses would not touch. and I am pretty certain most of those children are still alive today because they did that. I am on their side, not the side of priests.

2. Snort. Hypocritical self-righteous abuser of children.

You sit silently by while it is happening, you're just as guilty.

If you try to cover it up or deny it is happening - just as guilty.

Sick fucks need to stop blaming everyone else for their depravity.
