friendly reminder from an athiest; this pope is a good dude and a mathematician, he knows what’s up.

Didn’t know he had a degree in mathematics - that’s a fun one to share with my students.
Thanks!

Didn’t he threaten to excommunicate priests who turned in child rapists?

If you’re referring to priests turning in child rapists via breaking the seal of confession, no. Doing so is an automatic excommunication from the Catholic Church, that’s not something he’s instituted.
This week he did affirm his zero-tolerance policy on not only child abuse within the church, but also any attempts to cover them up.

If he really had a zero tolerance policy, he’d get rid of the rule that bar priests from turning in child rapists.

FYI a dokter/psychiatrist is just as banned from exposing a confessed murder or rapist,
What they do instead is highly encourage you to turn yourself in.
The reason professional secrecy is so important is because the moment you leave the tiniest gap, no one will trust the profession anymore when processing the guilt of their own actions. Potentially making the problem worse. These people are not well in their head and require treatment, the bar for treatment must be as low and safe as can be.
I believe Dokters do have a rule when you state the full intention to do harm a person in the near future they have to call law enforcement but i don’t think they need to provide information about the perpetrator if they aren’t the person in danger.
This may be subject to specific local laws but i always assumed it was modeled after how the church did it, pastors used to act as primitive psychologists.

Do you point out that you are an atheist to give credit to your comment? Sad…

Boggles the fucking mind that an elderly white male high ranking Catholic is a sane and solid pick for president considering the current state of things.
If the founding fathers were still alive, the very idea of this would kill them.
