my verdict and if they came clean

Post  turnaround on Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:09 am

I have read a fair bit now about the case.... and I really do believe they know what happened to their daughter, and nothing can change my mind. However, If they came clean I would have a lot of respect for them regardless of what happened. The end.

xxxx
thanks for all the info everyone.

That's generous of you, but if they know what happened to Madeleine, which I'm sure they do, then there's no way I would have any respect for them after they've ruined lives and taken money under false pretences from the general public. If they had come clean when they were made prime suspects persons of interest it might have been a different matter but 5 years down the line? Nah

I can can understand that.

I don't expect people to be perfect but I do expect them to put their misdeeds right. And that would mean making ammends to all those involved.

I must admit, I can't imagine ever respecting them, not after all the lives they've damaged.

But by now they will have confessed, and received absolution.
So that's all right then !

I don't think absolution can be granted on an ongoing sin, only one that has ceased. Otherwise absolution would be on an ongoing daily basis until the sin ceases. As far as I can see the sin is continuing without sign of abatement!!!

Yeh I can see where your coming from. My way of ammends mean all parties are satisfied. I don't know how that would work, given the amount of damage done, but were there's a will there's a way.

I like this quote.

But isn't that why Catholics go to confession every week ? I have never understood why they don't just stop doing whatever they are confessing !

Exactly so.
Cease.
Repent.
Forgive.

Or just don't sin in the first place.
