...relevant to punishment for his crime (except as an excuse for the church to avoid sifting through past allegations that remain unpublicized)? Then there were these loopholes: the abuse also had to be "serial" and "predatory." Occasional or one-off child-abuse violations could perhaps be forgiven. And even serial abuse might be overlooked if it had not been "predatory." A simple question: How is an adult's exploitation of a minor ever anything but predatory...

...would never suggest that the advanced technology is itself anathema to good narrative, except in one instance: Voice-overs. When read off a screen, the dialogue’s overall care in character shines through, and its many stupid moments are forgiven. In FFX, they’re highlighted by often-disastrous acting. In flashbacks of Tidus’s youth, his father grunts like a pro-wrestler, a bad-dad act so bad it wins a chuckle. Yuna can only say two words without inhaling hesitantly...
