In reply to the discussion: US judge prompts outrage after saying: ‘If she didn’t want sex, her body should have just shut down’ [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)13. Hey, Pope Pius XII said
if a woman doesn't fight to the death against rape, she was going to Hell. He canonized a girl who was murdered by her rapist as an example of the proper thing to do, because chastity was that important to morality.
He was "infallible" and still has a great influence in the church.
When "infallible" moral authorities say that, what can you expect?
Though how a judge can make a distinction between a "technical violation" and a real crime, I don't know. I'm hoping, at least, that since the legal system is defining rape in terms of penetration, that there's no way to argue what's merely technical anymore.
However, his claim of having too much compassion for "real" rape victims to consider this guy culpable is the apex of moral conceit, and deceit.

This guy isn't fit to be a law professor, let alone a Superior Court judge.
