Jim R. is Catholic?
Freegards
These are a few examples of denial outside the Catholic Church.

Ilger, a former second-grade teacher, was convicted in 1988 of molesting four students in his San Luis Obispo classroom. After being released from jail, Ilger and his family moved to Los Angeles, where he took a position with Hope Chapel of the Valley in Canoga Park
"We've lived and learned a painful lesson," the Rev. Jeff Fischer of Hope Chapel said outside court.
Fischer has said he and about 30 church elders knew that Ilger had molested young girls before he was hired, and restricted his church duties.

Turner had been pastor of Anchor Community Church, 38 S. Fairgreen Drive, for seven years when he was arrested last summer
D) Anaheim, CA. Anaheim pastor admitted Monday he fondled two teen-age girls 18 years ago while working as a part-time counselor at a Colorado church a decade before he was assigned to an Orange County church. "I was acting like an irresponsible teen-ager. There's no excuse for what I did," the Rev. Greg Tucker of Anaheim First Church of the Nazarene told The Orange County Register. The church settled lawsuits by two women, who said Tucker, then 22, molested them when they were 16. A Colorado jury sided with the women in a civil trial, ordering Tucker to pay the two $70,000. Tucker said he never told church leaders about the indiscretions before his ordination in Southern California seven years ago. In Colorado, sexual relations with a teen-ager were not considered criminal then, which led the women to sue for civil damages. The former youth pastor is now a senior pastor in a Nazarene Church in Anaheim, CA. The Nazarene General Superintendent's remarks about the case were very telling, i.e. "This happened a long time ago. . .the man has 'grown' since then. . . isn't the Christian faith all about forgiveness. . ."(North County Times, April 17, 2002

Pastor Frank Douglas II, pastor of Beth-Judah Ministries was unavailable for comment
This man's history is highly suspect. Quakerism started in England in 1640. Except for a brief period under Queen Mary in the 1550's, England became effectively a Protestant country in 1535.
Heresy was typically punished by being burnt at the stake. Beheading was the punishment in England for treason, if your sentence was commuted from the normal punishment (hanging, drawing, and quartering). (And you probably had to be a nobleman to earn that commutation.) I suppose beheading was the punishment for some other crimes, as well.
IOW, I don't believe his story. Catholics weren't beheading anyone in England for heresy in the 1600s.
Sure will. Most is not in the religion forum.
By the way, the bigot is full of it. If his ancestor was a Quaker, in England no less (name of “Dye”), then he wasn’t ever beheaded by a Catholic or even tried as one since Quakerism was started in the 17th century - over a century after Protestants took over England.
He’s not only a bigot, but he’s either a moron or a liar.
A belated welcome home to the Catholic Church!
Disagreement doesn’t have to mean disrespect. I respect my Catholic brothers and sisters despite our disagreements.
I demand the same respect in return. By and large, I get it.
I believe so. Mod? Am I right?
There’s plenty of anti-Catholic bigotry. There’s plenty of anti-Protestant bigotry. There are bigots in every group of people. One would hope that the whole group is not painted with a single, broad brush.
So, because of all the Catholic bigotry — is the author calling FreeRepublic a leftist site?
Maybe some people need to check their typing fingers and brain linkages! LOL!
FR is FAR from a leftist site! Wowsies!
I think he (the one who wrote Matt the e-mail) was using sarcasm, because Abbott originally said that he can’t help it if left sites link to his articles.
I don’t belong to any organized religion. I’m a Republican.
Sorry, Mr. Robinson, I was misinformed. I apologize.
No problem.
This is the author's definition of Catholic "anti-Protestant bigotry?" He defines it out of existence!
REAL Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry isn't the Feeneyite kind. It's the sickening, disgusting "we're so much more enlightened and intellectual than you narrow-minded, illiterate Bible-thumpers who are so passe as to believe that only people who believe as you do go to Heaven."
THAT, my friends, is REAL Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry, and far too many Catholic posts on FR are absolutely dripping with it. But since "Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry" is being redefined so as to make Feeneyites and other traditionalists into scapegoats, I imagine no Catholic FReeper will see it that way.
