Yet they are silent on honor killings, child marriages and a host of Islamic practices.

"Undeterred by data, the United Nations Committee ignores the fact that Catholic clergy are not represented in the sexual abuse phenomenon at a rate higher than or even equal to their numbers in the clerical profession as a whole.

"In a comprehensive study of more than 20 years of data on clerical abuse, Philip Jenkins, the Distinguished Professor of History at Baylor, and author of Pedophiles and Priests, found no evidence that Catholic or other celibate clergy are any more likely to be involved in misconduct or abuse than clergy of any other denomination. "

So you’re in favor of government persecution of Catholics, is that it?

First remove the beam from your own eye...

I fear the time is coming when we’ll know how much of a stretch it is.

Yes, by the grace of God. We are under attack for suing the Feds, expect slander and defamation galore out of NPR and the usual Goebbel’s like mouthpieces.

Couldn’t be prouder,

I Was born in North Carolina/ grew up as a First baptist/ Found out the preacher was a wino and hit on widows/ left . Got drafted came home and joined the Catholic church. That lasted for 10 years. Got tired of passing the plate and jumping up and down 10 times in 30 minutes. Drifted into the Quaker faith and found the love of my life. Gave me two great kids and I have stayed with this faith. Going to meeting is a hoot. Sometime ten people get up and say a few word and at other time 45 minutes go by without a sound. The faith is real and very rewarding to be associated with.. I am 70 and at peace!

What is this the next 2 questions your 0bamacare “provider” asks in the examination room? I long for the days of a simple “turn you head to the side and cough”.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has 57 member states and there are 193 United Nations (UN) member states (29.5%). There is no Organisation of Christian Cooperation or anything like it! FYI: the UN has actively debated several proposals about making a human rights crime out of any insult to Islam!
