This an example of the sick and twisted hatred that Catholics are up against.

Homosexuality is everywhere in are society and is present in all religions.

Yet he defines faithful Catholics by a tiny group of homosexual priests.

He ridicules Mother Teresa. He never acknowledges a single one of her sacrifices or her achievements. He just spews hate against her without a single fact or honest reason.

The hatred towards people of faith is real. We are under attack by some very evil people.

He is angry with God. Someone religious probably let him down and he blames God.

The two great struggles of our time:

Nationalism vs Globalism
Christianity vs anti-Christianity

I pretty much think it’s the same struggle. And I no longer refer to Left-Right struggles or Liberal-Conservative struggles. I don’t think those old terms really mean anything.

But Christianity still means what it has always meant, and a lot of people feel nothing but hatred for it. They are scared by Free Will and God’s judgment.

It has been my experience that nearly all atheist who hate religion (especially Christianity) are sexually depraved. Be they homosexuals, pedophiles or hedonist.

The do NOT like Christianity because it makes them feel guilty about their own decadence and debauchery.

These atheist are the lowest of the low.

Liberals hate Mother Theresa.

A person who took a vow of poverty and unselfishly helped the poorest of the poor dying in the street.

Why? Because she showed the liberals thier own hypocrisy and love of Jesus.

Always good to know the source. From the article: Gregory A. Clark is an associate professor of bioengineering at the University of Utah who accepts and professionally tries to develop treatment approaches that are based on evidence.

The considered vitriol from this professor is exemplified by this paragraph which is such a complete 'ad hominem' attack as to make one wonder if he had ever encountered a course in logic; "Apparently, Mother Teresa hates amputees. Either that, or God does. He'll routinely regrow limbs for salamanders. But for people? Meh. Not so much."

“That God could have stopped Catholic priests from raping altar boys. But, overall, He didn’t want to.”

Or could have stopped Islamonazis from beheading small children and watching as those same Islmaonazis forced the parents of those small children to run their hands through the blood of their innocent children.

Odd that this c-sucker would find 9-11-2016 to be a date to denounce Christian religions when there is a billion-strong deathcult that he is ignoring in his little p!ssy pantywaist rant.

That God could have stopped Catholic priests from raping altar boys. But, overall, He didn't want to.

He starts out with the false premise that God made Mother Teresa a Saint, but that was not the case. We are all put here on this earth with free will to chose our path, albeit in different situations. That was the path Mother Teresa chose for herself, which is why the Pope recognizes her as a Saint. One would assume that God views her in a positive light as well, but God neither made her a Saint nor is God the one making her a Saint.

The priests guilty of sins against children chose their own path and will have to answer to God, just a Mother Teresa will have to. According to teachings the outcomes will be quite different for the priests from that of Mother Teresa. This author, as well as, every other soul that departs this earth will face their judgment day too.

God Blessed us when he gave us Mother Teresa. Whether one believes in Saints or just the Righteous, she graced us all.

An example of his work that shows he uses pretzel logic to justify his conclusions.

Homosexuality is biologically natural, not deviant

A list of his publications.

The real problem is that these people are being allowed to teach out children.

God asked us to love God and our neighbor as ourselves.

God wanted us to voluntary accept God and His love, so He does not force us to do anything. So each of can choose to sin and accept the modern culture/ morals (as this reporter has).

May all find God’s Peace and Love.

The author confuses HIS OWN perspective with that of God. While earthly life is a thing of great consequence to the small benighted writer it is less than shadows and light to God. No act by men upon the earth can triumph over the Reward that God can offer.

Anyone criticizing the Catholic Church must review the Catechism, which this writer did not do - If he had he would understand that (1) the Catholic Church teaches that everyone has free will. God cannot stop anyone from doing anything. Not even clergy .(2) that the clergy members are not necessarily saints and no one is a saint until after they’re dead and beyond their free will. (3) This is not heaven. Heaven is heaven. Catholics are not obligated to make this heaven and not by telling God what He’s doing wrong.

And they do not expect God to stop all evil on this earth.

To criticize something without reviewing its tenets is like reviewing a movie without having seen it.

But this major newspaper publishes it. It would be like, “I’m reviewing ‘Sully’ but I haven’t seen it” this paper would not print it.

This is just I the first sentence of this hateful article. Let him criticize any other faith and do so without reviewing what he’s talking about. But no. Catholicism remains the only entity that can be criticized in this culture. This culture hates truth, the media certainly does

Cynicism is endemic in journalism, and in socialists generally.
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Journalists knowingly (“If it bleeds, it leads” and “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man”) are negative - and yet they claim to be objective.” But the idea that systematic negativity is objective is a perfect definition of cynicism.
