>>>>>>>That logic is laughable. What that actually means is, any such nuns violated Canon law.<<<<<<<<<<

Observing Canon law is MANDATORY, not an option for RC clergy. Violation of the Canon law bears consequences. That's what Reformation was all about. You can not be RC and disobey the authority.

According to you, clergy and nuns are free to violate the Canon Law without any consequence. Superior responsible for their actions gets elevated for commited crimes and beatified.

Vatican did nothing to prevent the genocide while it was taking place, helped perpetrators to escape justice after the war, and kept the proceeds of the crime on their behalf.

We can only debate wheter the role of RC in genocide in Croatia was a role of accomplice or accessory to the crime.

Methinks that the only laughable is your attempt to defend the undefensible. People who deny Nazi crimes are called Holocaust deniers and Nazi Revisionists.

People who bear false witness are called liars and slanderers.

Duh!  That's the very nature of law. Do you imagine a class of voluntary laws?

You're laughably naive on that one. Disobeying authority happens on a daily basis. with the USCCB, it's practically policy.

According to you, clergy and nuns are free to violate the Canon Law without any consequence.

Such an exquisite strawman! But as with all stawmen, it is false and not supported by what I have written.

Vatican did nothing to prevent the genocide while it was taking place, helped perpetrators to escape justice after the war, and kept the proceeds of the crime on their behalf.

How about you prove that. Better yet, make that argument to any of the 860,000 jews (or their descendants) saved by the Church.

Methinks that the only laughable is your attempt to defend the undefensible. People who deny Nazi crimes are called Holocaust deniers and Nazi Revisionists.

If you are referring to me as a Holocaust deniar or a Nazi Revisionist, I invite you to go to hell, liar.

You're joking, right? Lurk around the FR Catholic threads and you'll see Catholic FReepers bemoaning their pastors and bishops who are in almost constant violation of Canon law. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church, just like the rest of the world's religions, is made up of sinners.

You are in possession of a vile and irrational hatred of the Catholic Church. I will pray that God will turn your heart.
