if only two or a few hells angels or crips or bloods or muslims were
caught/accused of sexually molesting children, the "moral majority" of
americans would demand the total round-up of all--
those that belong to such groups would be guilty by association--
yet, catholics dont receive the same condemnation...
i suggest the whole congregation be dismantled and their property sold
for damages...
i also call for the govt to investigate the vatican and all its
branches throughout the world for the sake of children in countries--
where to accuse the church is suicide or immediate expulsion from the
area.
>i suggest the whole congregation be dismantled and their property sold

If American Airlines were doing what the Catholic Church has done, at
an INSTUTIONAL LEVEL enable pedophiles to force themselves on children
we would not care if the lawsuits destroyed the airline.
The same would apply to a store chain, a summer camp, a physical
fitness chain, a bridge club...
I see no reason to give the Catholic church, or any other church,
immunity just because it has a long history, and its adherents refuse
to believe the crimes it has been convicted of.

Priestly Sex and Molestation Scandal----Dark Hour
My statement: I would remind Catholics (and non-Catholic Christian
allies) who are despairing over this dreadful scandal to recall that
all great reform movements in the Catholic Church followed times of
great immorality within its ranks (we Catholics being sinners and in
constant need of God's grace, mercy, and help, along with everyone
else). The terrible revelations now being exposed can potentially be a
huge wake-up call to reform seminaries, Catholic educational
institutions, and the priesthood from the inroads of theological
modernism, false psychological thinking, "political correctness,"
heterodox, compromised teaching on sexuality, and relativist,
non-traditional ethics and morality in general. Those scourges are the
ultimate and long-term cause of these tragic events, and no informed
Catholic that I know has ever denied that the Church (i.e., with regard
to the beliefs and behavior of many of its members, not in its
teachings) is suffering from a modernist crisis (see my web page,
Theological Liberalism and Modernism). I would note in passing that
the fashionable, wrongheaded, agenda-driven calls for a married or
female clergy have little to do with the current problem, and cannot
resolve it, since upwards of 90% of the sexually-abused were teenage
males. The problem obviously is something other than celibacy itself,
or Clintonian urges towards heterosexual promiscuity. Having believed
for a long time (based on historical hindsight) that spiritual and
ecclesiological revival is coming in the 21st century, I think this
unutterably tragic scandal can and will -- by God's grace and mass
repentance -- eventually be instrumental in leading to a great movement
for reform, orthodoxy, and revival (Romans 8:28). The laity will likely
play a large part in the coming revival, as they often have in the
past. For a single informative, insightful article on this subject
(and/or a good place to start learning about it), I highly recommend
Dark Hour, by my friend and fellow Catholic apologist and author, Mark
Shea.

Seem to me the most famous of these "reforms" was the great schism
when all the protest church broke off in disgust over the scandals and
corruption in the Catholic church.

Are you talking about me? I don't support NAMBLA. I don't believe
religion is the cause of ALL sexual depravity. I rail against the
institution of the church which harbours and enables pedophiles. I am
not claiming religion caused them to become predators, just that it
helped them prey on children.
"Mind products" refers to computer programs, brainstorming, problem
solutions, not psychoactive chemicals. Think logically, the mind
does not PRODUCE psychedelics.
Roedy is still kind of ticked off at God, because God gave him Aids because
roedy likes young boys and engages in homosexual sex acts.
>It seems strange to me that a sexual deviant who supports NAMBLA would

I looks as if you are called me a sexual deviant.
I am a celibate gay.
That is a bit like calling a left handed person "deviant". Gays are
about as common as lefties.
The DSM-IV has not listed homosexuality as a disorder for decades.
>Roedy is still kind of ticked off at God, because God gave him Aids because
>roedy likes young boys and engages in homosexual sex acts.
I can't very well be ticked off at an imaginary being. That is like
being ticked off at Betty Crocker, Paul Bunyan or Moses.
I have not had sex for about 5 years.
I am angry and Reagan and Van der Zaalm, not God, Christians who
deliberately blocked sex education that would have warned me of the
danger of HIV. I got this way back in 1985. These men thought they
were doing God's work, helping him eliminate gays.
I am also angry with American politicians for doing all they could to
spread AIDS in Africa out of racist motives.
>Roedy is still kind of ticked off at God, because God gave him Aids because
>roedy likes young boys and engages in homosexual sex acts.
If I ever get some money, I will use to sue you for every penny you
have.
Who caught aids from your homosexual acts.
Seems your deviant behavior has caught up to you.
>
> The DSM-IV has not listed homosexuality as a disorder for decades.
It used to be listed as a disease, it was only removed because of threats
from the homosexuals against the doctors.
Kind of like if we removed cancer of the list of being a serious problem to
ones health. Cancer still remains a problems to ones health, just as
homosexuality is still a disorder.
You sure do make a big beef about something you call imaginary. Why is that.
Why are you blaming a God who you say is imaginary for all kind of evil
things.
>
> Christians who
> deliberately blocked sex education that would have warned me of the
> danger of HIV.
It is not the purpose of Christians to warn you about your actions.
But here anyway you are wrong, Christianity has always talked out against
homosexuality. You choose to ignore that warning, so do not blame Reagan or
the Christians, for what you did to yourself.
> I got this way back in 1985. These men thought they
> were doing God's work, helping him eliminate gays.
Bullshit. Christianity has always spoken against homosexulaity, you choose
to ignore such warnings, and you willingly engaged in homosexual sex acts.
So it is your own fault that you caught aids.
You need to wake up and accept your own falt in your illness. It was your
choice to do what you did.
That is very funny. You ever try something like that, I will give you a
real reason.
So make your hate chicken man.
I am only repeating what you yourself have posted about other people and
groups.
If you do not like it, well maybe you should not say the same about those on
the right, and those with religious beliefs.
