Their true motives are far from protecting kids. Otherwise, they would install security cameras inside all corners in all churches in the continent, and, more importantly, enforce bodycam on pastors 24/7.

> cameras inside all corners in all churches in the continent,

Because that's how you protect people privacy, right???

Why not put military personnel in every corner of every street and check if people have the "approved by the government" tattoo on their wrists?

I'm not promoting such practices. In fact, I was just trying to use the legislators logic: if they are truthful about their "protecting children" slogan, let them start their policing where the predators are most likely to be found instead of targeting the entire population.

> their policing where the predators are most likely to be found

well, the predators are more likely found in schools, which are way more numerous than (actively used) churches (and temples and synagogues and mosques...)

> if they are truthful about their "protecting children" slogan,

they would try to solve it as they see fit.

legislators are voted by the people, with many different ideas. they aren't a caste disconnected by the rest of the World.

especially in EU institutions where is much harder to make a career over lobbying for some local interest.

Worst politicians in Europe work in national parliaments.

> let them start their policing where the predators are

You mean in their houses, where the vast majority of the abuses take place?

Please, don't post simplistic vox populi stuff.

> they would try to solve it as they see fit.

It seems for them the solution is to destroy privacy for the entire population.

Please ask this to the European Commision instead.

a bit of overreaction never fails to double back on poor arguments.

as a matter of fact I do.

I participate actively.

Do you?
