Dr. Ruth?
Well, they knew they were to become seminarians, what did they expect? Seems a pretty seminal choice of term.
In related business, if someone asks us you want to become a ‘castrato’, say No!
There is a deeper cause of this sexual abuse, namely evil. Satan has used the penchant for homosexuality in the clergy as a means to destroy the Church. In addition to purging the Church of homosexuality, there needs to be a spiritual cleansing. Those clergy guilty of these acts should be publically excommunicated, especially the Bishops and Cardinals. The Pope should direct all Catholic churches to conduct special liturgies and prayers to root out evil. The Church as a whole needs exorcism
Sorry, but faggotry has ALWAYS been part of the Catholic Clergy.
I think Pope Francis has been attempting to elevate man-boy love into a social norm.
The church does good things, but current leadership is destroying it. We dont want Islam to fill the faith void.
Kinda like another important institution on the world stage.
You mean the Boy Scouts?
Someone once said, “Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.” The failure to live up to the teachings does not prove anything one way or the other about the value of those teachings.
What a weasel non-answer.
The question wasn't about the value of the teachings.
The question was about the behavior in contradiction to the teachings.
And yes, it IS rank hypocrisy.
Starting to sound an awful lot like demoncrats....quit with the excuses and start the house cleaning.
If you look deep enough, many of the founding heroes of the “gay rights” movement were pederasts: Terry Bean (HRC), Harvey Milk, Larry Brinkin, Harry Hay, etc.
I have never had a problem with Catholic Christians as a faith home. I have always had a tremendous problem with the Catholic Church as an institution.
Throughout history, the institution has been the home of great evil.
In the last 50 years, liberalism and faggotry has become rampant.
“Is the current Catholic sex abuse scandal related to homosexuality?
“Yes.”
Such direct honesty sounds sadly strange, but is so refreshing at the same time.
Probably not before 1139AD when marriage of Catholic Priests was forbidden.
Before that, there was no such thing.
Paul was single but knowing Jewish history, most likely Peter was married.
Yes, those men are hypocrites that engaged in homosexual acts or covered for those that abused others. No, the Catholic Church (which is what was asked about) is not hypocritical for condemning such things.
I'm guessing it is a reference to Ruth, an ancestor of Jesus, for whom a book of the Bible is named.
Then he should take the lead by resigning and going off to finish out his life in a cloistered monastery.
Most of their male victims aren't homosexuals, and neither are these monsters. As Red might put it in The Shawshank Redemption, they have to be human first, and they don't qualify.
