Archbishop Robert J. Carlson claimed to be uncertain that he knew sexual abuse of a child by a priest constituted a crime when he was auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, according to a deposition released Monday.
During the deposition taken last month, attorney Jeff Anderson asked Carlson whether he knew it was a crime for an adult to engage in sex with a child.

“I’m not sure whether I knew it was a crime or not,” Carlson replied. “I understand today it’s a crime.”

All Catholics (as with other Christians) will have to be judged by God anyway.

Let Him sort em' out.

You know, I was thinking I havnt seen you in a while.

Just to be clear, you are not saying that is the only judge and ruling he should have to face right?

no, but ultimately, God will. Lawbreakers have to answer to their own Governments too.

You know there's no definitive way for any of us to truly know there's a god that will judge him, so to be on the safe side lets judge him while he's here on Earth just in case.

I hear what you're saying, and from your POV, I agree.

My point is that whether we judge him or not, if the Christian God does exists, then he'll still have to answer to him/her/it regardless.

But yeah, lets do judge him now...I agree with that.

Better yet, let's let a judge judge him.

I'm paraphrasing but in the Bible it says you'll most certainly get judged according to man's laws. And that you should follow the law of the land unless you want to get judged.
