The Devil in the form of priests, bishops and other church officials who molest young boys and seminarians, and who then cover it up with threats, bribes and lies.
Funny how Bergoglio is being portrayed as an orthodox Christian now. It makes me wonder if the Leftist wing of the Catholic Church sees the decline in their influence and is scrambling to re-image their “Progressive Pope”.
So homosexuals are now agents of the devil? /s
Well as the spaun of Satan he should know.
So it’s the old “The Devil Made Me Do It” defense, eh?
Calling Dr. Raoul!!! Could you please ask God to give you a few days off, so you can don your devil suit, and go haunt Francis like you used to haunt Hillary?
The solution is to remove any priest from the priesthood completely when it is determined that he has abused a child. When you do this, the problem will go away. Accept no homosexuals into the seminaries. But we have to start bouncing the bad guys out of the priesthood. That must be done starting right now.
Finally the Pope gets something right. However, he needs to do something far more to end this. Start with mass excommunications of all clergy involved or covering up for these sex abuses, reiterate the Church’s long held teaching that homosexuality is inherently sinful and cannot be tolerated within the Church and lastly direct all churches to perform ritual cleansings if not exorcisms and declare a year of special prayers to root out the evil infecting the Church.
No, the divisions is because Luther had had it with his pope and the mama church of his day. Today, the problems is this pope is an idiot. He says atheists, homos, etc, will get into heaven just like people who actually believe that Jesus was the Christ and that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day. THAT is the Gospel according to 1 Corinthians 15, verses 1-4. This pope doesn’t know what he is talking about. HE needs to get back in the Book and see WHAT THE BOOK SAYS!!! It is by FAITH, plus nothing!! Nothing else is required. NO works which his church is full of to be saved. This guy is an embarrassment to their church.
Apparently, this Pope never got the memo from Jesus that we no longer need a go-between - we can go right to the Father.
Never hurts to pray against the wiles of Satan.
Extremely flawed humans perhaps?
Good grief. This is perhaps the biggest shift of blame I’ve ever seen.
Frank better be careful what he wishes for.
Second highest rated show in the country in 1970-71.
Why not God Himself?
Please stop
I agree in principle
A dog that is hit by a car will bite those who try to help it
Is it the fault of the dog, or the heartless driver that hit it?
If a person is mortally harmed by a trusted adult,
and they lash out in pain,
Whose fault is this?
You are hearing the great pain of those
who trusted the high teachers of the Church,
You are blaming those in pain, for crying out
You are protecting those who have mortally sinned
Justice is a High Virtue
Justice is one of the four cardinal virtues in Roman Catholicism.
Teach us oh Vicar of Christ
Where is the Justice in your words and actions
