Rutgers Camden is incredibly safe. It’s not surprising that temples worse

>If you need religion to tell you what is right and wrong and act as the main source of inspiration for ethical behavior in your life then I truly feel sorry for you.
I'd argue that religious belief is the only defensible source of ethical behavior that isn't inherently arbitrary, but I don't think we need to get into that.
>It’s only hundreds of years late but the pope is finally considering ending the ban on marriage for priests.
He should not.
Have a good day!

Clearly a failure on the part of the "Licensing and Inspection and u/SpauldingSmails18 Department"...

It’s only hundreds of years late but the pope is finally considering ending the ban on marriage for priests. That is a start, but forgive me if I am not rushing to pat you all on the back for finally embracing some progressive changes to your famously regressive and corrupt institutions

Temple is still a respected school. The neighborhood is another story.

I'm not hand-waving anything. You're engaging in guilt by association for over a billion Catholics by trying to claim they "defend organizations that fuck children," as if all the good work done by millions and millions of Catholics in charity, education, healthcare, etc as part of the church should be dismissed because of the actions of a subset of evil men. It's bullshit tribalism, and you know it.

There is a genuine perverse feeling of needing to be ready to stand up for yourself bc violence prevention is limited outside of Campus. Especially if you rely on public transit it now takes a spine to go to Temple.
I am lucky that I am a thick skinned, in-shape dude.

I’m sure you know many of them, but I believe the church prefers “father”.

This is one of the most hand waving BS arguments I have ever encountered. You’re sloppily ducking the core of the question with some arm chair, half assed philosophizing all over the simple proposition: don’t apologize for people who abuse children and the organizations that enabled predators of children

If you work for the sanitation dept, I'd kove it if you did an AMA. Ya Fav Trashman, notwithstanding his later misdeeds, was really helpful during lockdown answering questions.

This breaks my heart, it was not like this when I went to and worked at Temple. Everyone was careful but in terms of random violence, there was very very little of it.

I'm thinking your second choice. Idk that the city or state are capable of or willing to undertake that heavy lift.

Temple was on the upswing a decade ago, with crime levels low and earning an R1 status. It still has many nationally respected programs, though the business school obviously tarnished its reputation.
