Does priest mean pedophile in Italian ?
Since the catholic church refuses to do anything about their numerous predator priests, it’s time for states to pass laws that prohibit priests from ever being alone with any children. I can’t believe that any catholic parent would ever leave their child in a position where that child could be alone with a priest. That is just gross negligence.
Pretty bad.
But the Catholic Church has weathered through worse.
The situation makes the truly faithful in it shine that much brighter.
The Roman Catholic Church ought to consider that their policies had the practical effect of eliminating practicing heterosexuals from the Priesthood, while providing a safe haven for non-celibant homosexuals.
Yeah, and they did it with a pompous, fake “holliness”. They should all be taken out and hung... And shot.
And it’s a lie. They did not include information that was in the original.
Read Bill Donohue’s take on it.
here is the Catholic League Bill Donohue’s reply.

in case anyone is interested.
Meanwhile in Islam...
Although not as bad as what was done to those children, the damage that the Catholic Church has done to Christianity in the eyes of unbelievers is also great. How can "we" call on them to repent when "we" covered for "our own" perverts?
Let Priests Marry but not to each other
“Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them...”
Is this from the Grand Jury report?
The phrase “men of God” is completely unwarranted and inappropriate and in fact indicates a bias or prejudice that puts the objectivity of the report in question.
The report is online. Everyone should read it. You will never view the Catholic Church the same again.
Penn State too.
you say that breathlessly.....hmmmm
They could do a report on the public school teachers rates of raping students...but they don’t want to and wont. They WOULD if they really cared about what they are pretending to care about.
Catholics are being attacked for wrong doing but mostly, because its a big church with a lot of $$$$$....
as it says in the bible....cast the first stone....
I’m not saying this isn’t bad but if the pop of the U.S. is roughly 300,000000 then 1000 is 0.00033333333333333% of that.
But the story makes the Catholic Church seem as if the entire Church is made up of drooling pedo’s.
Just saying.
Of course, the ones who are guilty should be arrested, and definitely are deserving of the harshest punishment.
It is a terrible thing to have taken advantage of a child. They have betrayed the trust given to them to shepherd the little lambs.
I keep thinking of the Pharisees who would put on "the pomp" in public and try to act as if they were so much ahead of the rest of the people in spiritual matters...seems like a pretty important God/Man had something to say about them....
From Matthew 23: 13-14 You Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses are in for trouble! You’re nothing but show-offs. You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You won’t go in yourselves, and you keep others from going in.[b]
Hmmmm.......wondering what the total number of priests is in PA? Maybe 776? (Google Search).
If so, almost 40% are pedophiles? And people still call this a church?
The indictment is on those members who put up with and allow this condition............and remain committed.........
