THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

THE TIME HAS PASSED WHEN LISTENING TO SOCIAL SCIENCE "EXPERTS" WAS AN INNOCENT MISTAKE | 2002-08-17

Catholic Church authorities have been whining that they are innocent of all those rapes of little boys that priests committed. Their excuse is that back when most of that happened they were just following orders.

The Catholic authorities openly insist that, back when they ignored child molesters, every single social expert from the universities told them that these people could be rehabilitated.

The Church is right about one thing: that rehabilitation line is what every trendy university professor recommended. But then, as now, nothing they say ever WORKS.

If you listen to them, you become a criminal, too. The time when listening to social "experts" was an honest mistake is long, long past.

See July 20, 2002 - IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISCREDIT THOSE WHO ARE ALWAYS WRONG?

No respectable conservative ever points out that the social "experts" are always wrong. And that makes them part of the criminal outlook, too, because tomorrow's crimes will be the result of people listening to those social science professors AGAIN.
