Boy Scouts, Church Pay into Settlement Fund for Abuse Victims

Thanks.  I agree background checks are a good idea.  I remember discussions though that for most cases that occur in the church, a background check would not have pulled anything up, so they can provide a false sense of security.

I’m not opposed to the Church out of a sense of benevolence paying into the fund, but without more information, I could not with certainty conclude this amounts to an admission of culpability on the part of the Church.

Do you think the church would pay $250 million if it did not think there could be some liability on their part?  My understanding is this payment releases them from future BSA claims.

The Abuse, Tacenda.  The Abuse.  My God, what is it with you, that you automatically assume the very worst of people you have never met and are unlikely ever to meet?  (Oh, I forgot.  It is only critics and skeptics to whom you give the benefit of an enormous doubt! :blink: :shok: :angry:   Fellow Saints?  Yeahhhhhh ... Not so much! :huh: :unknw: :()

My bad!  Ah, well!  Carry on!

More board nannying? What is it with you?  I read your comments to me on the closed millennial thread. I am sorry if you view me as full of vitriol. I can be strongly opinionated at times. I have also apologized many times if I have become to strident.  You don't like a poster just ignore them.  I do  this a lot.  Your condescending lecturing posts do get tiresome.

Why deal with the business end of an arrow when you can deflect from the real issue by criticizing  the fletching color or shape?

Very well.  I commend that course to you.

I happen to like Tacenda, even though, at times, we do disagree.  I think that, at times, she gives critics of the Church of Jesus Christ far too much of the benefit of a  doubt that they do not deserve while, at least sometimes, imputing bad motives to the Church and to the faithful.  But she's a big girl and can stand up for herself, if need be.

P.S.:  The post you're critiquing is a little old (a couple weeks).  But if what's floating your boat and putting wind in your sails is to criticize what I write here, here is a link to everything I have ever written on this Board that can still be accessed.  I think it's probably a questionable endeavor, and that your time, effort, and resources are much better spent in other pursuits, but, as I say, if it floats your boat and puts wind in your sails ... Happy Reading and Critiquing! :D;)
