It’s quite literally saving your soul from eternal damnation if you follow the religion. Just because you don’t believe in the religious practices doesn’t mean the experience is any less valid.
So pure selfishness then. A miscarriage of justice for the victim. The deliberate ignoring of societal problems. It only benefits the person who committed the crime by allowing them to get off scot-free. You think it’s a good thing for pedophiles to avoid justice, just so long as they appeal to your god. You think that’s how things should be.
I’ll bet you don’t even wonder how so many pedophiles found protection from their crimes and limitless opportunities to molest more victims simply by hiding within the authority of your church, for literally over a thousand years. And you believe them when they claim that they are the pathway to eternal paradise. Where is your god?
Catholics actually believe in Purgatory, where the priest saves your soul from damnation to Hell, you are still divinely punished before you enter Heaven. That is unless you get the apostolic pardon and sacrament of penance.
Jesus absolves people of sins and gives men the ability to do so. Your disbelief in the ability does not influence the believers. If you have an issue with it you can always rant with the Unitarian Universalists.
You consider it an abortion of justice yet they will still be divinely punished through purgation. Confession only prevents damnation to hell. Furthermore, your end sentence states Jesus would be appaled and you ranted about the church, but he did absolve sins and gave us the ability to do it.
And what good does going to confession accomplish?
It allows the church to absolve your sins. The Priests are acting as representatives of God, and cannot tell anyone of anything during confession.
And as I said, what good does that accomplish?
Why should the government make allowances and set up privileges for grownups playing make-believe in order to get away with crimes?

Except, it’s just bronze age mythology… Which has no place in the law.
Iron Age actually, and because you don’t believe it doesn’t make it any less real for believers.
Anyone can believe whatever mythology they enjoy. That doesn’t mean we need to codify their beliefs into law as a way of protecting criminals.

I’m sure you thought that was relevant.
You consider it an abortion of justice yet they will still be divinely punished through purgation. Confession only prevents damnation to hell. Furthermore, your end sentence states Jesus would be appaled and you ranted about the church, but he did absolve sins and gave us the ability to do it.
You are incapable of withdrawing the plank from your own eye when it’s pointed out. You just pretend there is a splinter in mine.
So God himself molested all those children? Well that’s not very cool of him.
He’s a real bastard
Makes you feel better about being a piece of shit.
