The anti-Catholics on Freep will lead me to leave. You are acting just as badly as the atheist “Government is God” type.
My mother was Episcopalian. Our Associate Priest was known to be a pedophile and he was in charge of Sunday School. This was in 1960s San Francisco Bay Area. EVERYONE in the Parish knew it and was having sex with a couple of the boys. [Fortunately, not me]. Now, our Church was the only one?
The reality is that pedophilia exists in all religions, day care centers, our schools, etc. But why do only crucify Catholics for it?
Yes, pedophilia is horrific. But it occurs everywhere. Try traveling abroad where it is rampant and you find Americas going offshore to have sex with small boys. Where is the outrage about that?
I don’t care if you claim to be Catholic. Did you do anything about? Probably not. You are just another Catholic-hating bigot. You have plenty of company on Freep these days.
I know plenty of Catholic priests (I converted in college) and i have never known of a pedophile. So, circulate your stupid opinions.
You probably are one of the Romney haters too.
The focus is on the hypocrisy, which brings out the contrast. That is why such man-made entities stand out as targets.
big tent is banned.
Don’t leave FR.
