A central belief of all mainstream Christian religions is forgiveness for people who have done wrong and are genuinely sorry. So it's hardly surprising.

Doesn't mean the laws don't apply to him and he won't have to deal with the legal system. (Didn't read the article.). It also doesn't mean they won't fire someone who might hurt the church because of their behavior. It also doesn't mean the victim's family will forgive this guy.

Silly bunny, the bishop is limited to diagonal movement but has no distance restrictions, thereby evading direct assault from any direction.

That applies to white Christians and other white Christians. When it's a black person or a non-Christian, the white Christian is not as likely to forgive.

Only in the cartoon world of American politics. I had dinner with a devout conservative Catholic couple last night. They still get their Jesus love on even if they are certain we're fucking up. This graphic implies a lot of brown Christianity going on. My atheistic younger daughter's college roommate is a devout liberal Christian from Brazil. They couldn't be better friends or more alike.
