Comments on Youth Pastor Watch

If something good happens, God did it. If something bad happens, God moves in mysterious ways. If something appears to resemble a dead Pope, it's a miracle.

Being retarded must be so much fun! You have an excuse for everything!

Ugh. As if it wasn't bad enough for those boys to be abused and (privately) humiliated. That asshole also had to post their pictures and offer them up for public humiliation as well. What a sick, sick fuck.

So you're saying that a pedophile was attracted to, and sought out, positions where he could be in contact with children? Say it ain't so.

Flames are pretty. I love fire. I could watch magical fire popes all day long.

Agree with Greg. SHOCKING that pedophiles flock to jobs that allow them proximity to children.

I've even heard that some teachers have been accused of pedophilia. SHOCKING.

You know, it's really quite fascinating that the police were able to unscramble the digitized swirl of his face in those pedo pics. I imagine that they reversed an algorithm. Now I guess criminals will just remove the pixels of their faces since the cat is out of the bag on that one.

Check out the rector's response, as reported by David Lohr at crimelibrary.com:

Christopher Neil was a history student at the Seminary of Christ the King in Mission, B.C. in the 1990s, but it was recommended he not go on to the priesthood, the school's rector says, because he lacked the necessary personal qualifications.

"'I'm not saying anything further,' said Rev. Nicholas Ruh. 'It's too delicate.'"

Too delicate for what? The Seminary's reputation? I'd like to know what they're hiding.

I'd like to know what they're hiding.

I don't know about Canada, but in this country your school records are confidential. Would you like to have that D minus in gym printed in the newspaper?

@9, let's remember who we're talking about. In Dan's words, "Christopher Paul Neil is “the world’s most-wanted pedophile.” He's the creep that posted hundreds of images online of himself abusing boys; the boys’ faces were clearly shown."

And your biggest concern is his right to keep his school records confidential?

i hope they catch him as soon as possible. that said, uh, yeah, i hope they don't violate anybody's rights in order to do so. i do not like idea of forfeiting rights to catch predators or terrorists. now, if they are hiding something else... then that's a different story.

"i do not like idea of forfeiting rights to catch predators or terrorists."

When you put it that way, I have to say I agree with you.
