When will we ever learn. A story in the news today tells the tale of a sexual deviant vicar who, in 1985 was convicted of abusing a 14 year old in Kent, but went on to work as a vicar for a further 25 years with the approval of the Church (of England), his boss at the time is now retired (2003) but became a Bishop and did a stint in the House of Lords (nice work if you can get it!). It transpires that he also abused other children in that time (no shit sherlock!), on Monday he was convicted of assaulting two boys in the 1980s and, let's face it, who knows how many others!
This is the problem when a group of people become convinced that they hold the moral high-ground over everyone else and allow themselves to believe that they have insights into Human behaviour and ethics that are "unavailable" to the rest of the population, it's a delusion and an obvious recipe for disaster. Psychopaths and sociopaths exist in our population according to statistical norms, if you brain wash them as children into thinking that "god is on their side" and protect them when they get caught then the emotional and physical harm they are capable of doing to others over many years doesn't bear thinking about.
