Teleology vs epistemology again
The latest Roman "scandals" are another classic pile of BAD EPISTEMOLOGY. Everyone is arguing about who knew what when, and who didn't know about the knowing of the not knowing of the claiming to know about the etc etc.....
Simple fact: Priests have been doing what priests do for a LONG TIME, and the PURPOSE of a priest has been KNOWN by EVERYONE for a LONG TIME.
Back in the '60s I knew people who were in "relationships" with priests. It didn't seem secret or dramatic or traumatic, it was just the way things work in the Church. If the situation was so perfectly obvious to a total outsider who never went to church, it must have been vastly more obvious to people who spent part of every day at Mass.
When you KNOW HOW THINGS WORK you can't get bogged down in epistemology. When you understand the PURPOSE of things, you won't bother to argue about a shared delusion.
= = = = =
Note on my own biases: Until a year ago I was more tolerant of Rome. I went along with the notion that the Sorosian demons currently leading the Church were not typical. After reading Henry Lea's 1877 history of the Inquisition, my tolerance disappeared. Lea's documentation was solid and extensive. This particular vice is mentioned, but only as one segment of the overall depravity. Rome's PURPOSE has always been to acquire infinite wealth and power by enslaving and impoverishing and ruining ordinary people. Prosperity Gospel all the way down. Insatiables exterminating Deplorables for 1500 years.
