FWIW, that wasn’t an accurate description of the exchange. **Saintly\_Loser** was accused of being reckless by leaving his kids alone with a Catholic priest. Nobody said he was actively cooperating in abusing them.

You may find it relevant, then, that **Saintly\_Loser** brought up the fact that he trusts his kids with a priest specifically in the context of a discussion about child abuse by the Catholic clergy, to rebut the argument that priests aren’t trustworthy.
