Unbelievable, especially after the situation that has plagued the Church over the past year. Paul Walfield at Enter Stage Right offers some excellent commentary:
“After the verdict, the ACLU attorney who represented the pedophile, according to the NWI Times said, ‘These cases are symptomatic of what sort of discrimination follows people around.’ Imagine that, convicted pedophiles who cruise city parks in search of children are ‘discriminated’ against because decent people who want to protect their children, get a restraining order to stop one in particular who literally admitted to his vile intentions.”
“The pedophile was not banned from the park because of his thoughts, but rather because of his past deeds, known predilection, failure of treatment, and his actively going to the park to pursue his depraved compulsion. Yet, the ACLU and two Clinton appointees to the Court chose to narrow the case to being about the ‘thought police.’ And while no one wants to create an atmosphere of fear regarding our thoughts, it is no stretch whatsoever to simply give deferential treatment to our children in cases like this.”
