Although the voting tally is now 33-4, any setback to normalcy is
unacceptable. The atheist and religious communities seem willing to
concede to the homos, with one exception; the RCC. The Vatican will
always stand-up for what is best for society and that is why pro-decency
atheists like myself will always accept the RCC as an ally.









http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-vows-to-continue-fighting-for-traditional-marriage-despite-setbacks









ROME, November 12, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In an unusually strongly
worded statement on Vatican Radio’s website, Fr. Federico Lombardi, the
head of the Vatican’s press office, has vowed that the Church “will not
give up its defence of marriage” despite recent setbacks.

Lombardi’s comments followed a front-page editorial in the Vatican’s
newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, which appeared the same day and decried
the growth of “politically correct ideologies invading every culture of
the world,” backed by organizations like the UN. The paper called for
“courage” from Catholics in fighting those ideologies.

The Church, said the editorial, “is the only institution to point out
that while it is certainly unfair to persecute homosexuals, to oppose
the marriage between persons of the same sex is not an offensive act,
but a point of view that must be respected.”

“And so is opposition to abortion,” it added. “This is not an attack on
human rights, but the defense of a social structure - the heterosexual
family - which formed the basis, so far, of all human societies.”

In a statement published in 30 different languages, Lombardi agreed,
writing that the Church’s opposition to same-sex “marriage” is not a
matter of unjust discrimination, which the Church does not allow. Rather
it is “a question of admitting that a husband and a wife are publicly
recognised as such; and that children who come into the world can know,
and say they have, a father and a mother.”

If the RCC wants further alienate people and
make itself even less relevant than it already is,
well, bring it on.




Reeling from sex-abuse scandals, the Roman Catholic
Church is losing members in droves.

How severe is the crisis? It’s "the largest institutional
crisis in centuries, possibly in church history," says
the National Catholic Reporter. Worldwide, the Roman
Catholic Church now has 1.1 billion members, compared
with 1.5 billion Muslims and 593 million Protestants.
In the U.S., all the major denominations have seen their
numbers decline in recent years, but the Catholic Church
has taken the biggest hit. Since the 1960s, four American-
born Catholics have left the church for every one who has
converted, according to a 2009 Pew study. In 2008 alone,
Catholic membership declined by 400,000. More than 1,000
parishes have closed since 1995, and the number of priests
has fallen from about 49,000 to 40,000 during that same
period. Some 3,400 Catholic parishes in the U.S. now lack
a resident priest. "Catholicism is in decline across
America," says sociologist David Carlin.

Good.

The sooner the RCC makes itself COMPLETELY irrelevant, the better it
will be for the country. Indeed, for the world.

All the churches that try to "reach out" to those outside their faith
but presume doctrines their target audience don't already believe, are
wasting their time, stupid and disrespectfully rude.

They're on to a loser because it turns off the audience who aren't
particularly interested in the first place.

Whether it's their doctrines about their god and their Jesus, or about
their hangups over contraception, abortion, rights for minorities they
hate, or anything else.

Or their rewriting history to spin their past and present evils
including their handling of the pedophile priest scandal, their
complicity in the spread of AIDS in third world countries, their
blackmail of elected representatives by threatening to excommunicate
them if they don't vote the Vatican line over things which are matters
of individual conscience for the voters who elected them.

And they imagine it diverts attention to attack those who don't put up

Unless priests are allowed to marry (and that will stop paedophilia
scandals), RCC should shut up about marriage.

The only thing the Vatican has ever stood up for is sickness and
degeneracy. The Vatican shuns marriage, perhaps we all should too. The
long history of what the Vatican stands for is a matter of public
record, and decency isn't anywhere in the Vatican's history. As for
"J" being a pro-decency anything, that idea should be listed among the
most truly tasteless jokes of all time!

Oh, bullshit.

If an unmarried man needs sex, he turns to a woman. The JJ report well states
that pedophilia amongst priests is less than the general population. That's
says you are more likely to be a pedo than a priest. So go home, boy.

Oh, it's much more than that. According to scripture, a marriage is a union
blessed by God until death between one man and one woman.

I'm not really concerned if 2 queers want a civil contract to butt ram each
other. But a marriage it isn't.

Marriage is a sacred union.

There will be exceptions, but by and large, if the priesthood accepted
married men, then the Church would not have to settle for the small
portion of the male population that is willing to accept a life without
women. Good money will drive out bad.

If they were that certain about it, then the pope should speak
ex-cathedra on the subject and hope that the history of sanctioned gay
marriages in the past does not come back to haunt them.

Birth control, priests marrying, gay marriage, all are things that the
church will never speak ex-cathedra on.

Ex-cathedra is not necessary. God already spoke personally on these issues.

Think is, if celibacy is demanded of Priests, the group will self-select for those without a strong sex drive, or who believe themselves to have no pressing need for sex.

Most of these will probably be people who are naturally asexual, but some will be those ignorant of, or in denial about, their own sexuality.

Then, of course, you put them in a position of authority over children.

Of course some will be attracted to the profession by that "fringe benefit".

Happily, we haven't had truly traditional marriage in Europe or the US for nearly a century.

Traditional marriage involved what was called "civil death" where the woman, essentially, ceased to be an independent entity in law, and became an appendage to the husband.

No doubt the Vatican supports that tradition. Fortunately, as a society, we've moved on, leaving them bumping along a century or so behind.

Priests were once married, then applied celibacy to themselves, and will once
again embrace marriage when the congregations accept it. As stated by my
priest.

Priests don't select priests; men elect to pursue the priesthood.

Needless to say, the huge majority of the problem came form priests that entered
at 13 years old - the traditional path of old. There's no way they understood
their sexuality in this age of the pill and half naked women walking the
streets. Pedophilia is a totally different issue than men chasing skirts.

And today's candidates are, in many cases, college graduates and older including
widows.

I don't think anyone is claiming that marriage cures
pedophilia.

Rather, they're saying that in rejecting men who want or
need a normal sex life, the RCC reduces its pool of
applicants to the priesthood so much that the remainder
must include a disproportionate number of pedophiles and
other harmful types.

Other religions and denominations don't have any problems due to
married or even woman ministers - indeed they are better at the
ministering and community aspects of the job.

A while back on the BBC World Service an ex-priest was interviewed,
who pointed out that priests learned about human relationships from
the confessional not from experience, so that even the decent ones got
a skewed idea of life.

The RCC needs to bring itself up to date in so many areas.

This is what makes the religious dangerous - they think they are above

>How can I hate something I don't think exists?

There's a showdown coming in Ireland because the RCC has refused to
recognise a new the law removing confessional privilege in pedophile
cases.

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Irish-priests-say-they-will-disobey-new-confession-box-law-on-child-abuse-149029005.html

Irish priests have vowed to defy a new law forcing them to report
details of sexual abuse revealed in the confessional box.

Ireland’s Justice Minister Alan Shatter is to introduce new
legislation which will force the clergy to reveal all details
disclosed in confession.

But priests have vowed to defy the law despite the threat of a 10-year
jail sentence after the introduction of the mandatory reporting
legislation.

The 800 strong Association of Catholic Priests has even told the Irish
Independent newspaper that its members will flout the Shatter law.

Children will win, the sick bastards you call priests will rot in prison,
keeping their silence, protecting those who rape children.

Strange that you and your church ignore your supposed gods view on those who
rape children. But then you have your own reason for wanting to protect child
rapists:

"Ever wonder how many male parents teasingly pinched their
young daughters on their newly budding breasts, or female
parents "touch" their young son's genitals in just the
wrong way - only now to have to stand accused of a charge
of sexual molestation of children."
- duke (Earl J Weber)

"only a fool fails to understand that a lot of fathers
teasingly pinch their daughters and mothers teasingly touch
their sons. It's called child molestation outside the
family unit."
- duke (Earl J Weber)

"I was talking about a loving family teasingly pinching
nipples (pre breast type) and comparing how that's quite
alright in a family setting but clearly and quickly labeled
as child molestation outside the family setting."
- duke (Earl J Weber)

"As I've stated before, the comment is from a ng discussion
addressing a double standard - what is considered "ok" in
the family setting quickly becomes molestation by an outsider.
You can see that in the comment itself."

exists?
