It really is unbelievable to what extent they will go to claim the church is the victim.
Of course they can be pretty sure they will not create a scandal among the faithful that is just about impossible. It is the rest of the world that is horrified by what is going on.
Here is a similar defense of the indefensible that echoes exactly what is going on here:
“Such suspicions are heightened by the report in the same article of the arrest of a Brazilian priest in early November, caught in a hotel room with four boys. Trying to defend his action, the 43-year-old priest Fr. Felix Carreiro stated, “I know 12 other priests who do the same thing” November 16, 2005)”
It really is unbelievable to what extent they will go to claim the church is the victim.
oh please, you are obviously not able to handle being a Catholic...very difficult at times, but a person with even average intelligence does not condemn an entire organization for the actions of a few of her members.....Because many Americans abuse drugs, do we judge all Americans??????of course not. There are bad priests, there was a bad bishop in Milwaukee, but Catholocism is still the ONLY true christian church on earth.....there is no other....only Catholocism...you can’t make up exceptions...She’s the ONLY true church on earth
You folks wouldn’t be able to post a proper link to this putative Decalogue, would you. I am still unable to find a proper link to a real print magazine anywhere. If we cannot establish a real magazine printing a real article from the real Church, then I would expect a retraction in as public a fashion as the accusation was made.
How about a source for that? It appears to be more garbage.
