No kidding
This is one church with a faggor predator
The diocese in Harrisburg had 45 faggot priests diddling boys in their care and covered it up for decades
I’ll tell you I’m learning where the problem is with queers in the Catholic clergy and their predations
I thought it was the denial of the hieraarcy
I was wrong
This article was posted by a Catholic and others summoned to somehow create this notion well everyone does it
Well no they don’t
Not on the same scale and with such incredible coverups and rationalization
A compliant laity and a venerated clergy
That’s your problem and if they don’t wake up and this continues it will destroy them
One thing in their favor is it’s modtly about queers and their sexual peccadilloes and the media even though they live to bash Christendom they are loathe to focus on queers and their perversions
The world is better off with a strong conservative Catholic Church
But it want till today I realize how deep this denial runs
It’s pathological
The queer priests of the Catholic Church have to be purged....lord have mercy why have they tolerated them so long....I myself have an experience with a faggot priest...he didn’t assault me but I knew he was a freak and was told to hush about it by Catholics who knew
Well he got caught and of course moved to some monastery and never charged.....crazy
I grew up in a small tight knit German neighborhood in Chicago. Everyone went to one church (which did masses in German, Latin and English). We are Scotts (my grandfather being from Scottland), so we really sort of tried to blend in.
Anyways, we had one priest in our parish who was Polish (this matters, because back then, you knew and remembered EVERYONE who didn’t quite fit in).
He was a violent bastard, not very old, mid-20 when I was in grade school. He once bloodied my nose with an elbow in basketball, then stepped on my ankle as he “helped me up” (on purpose).
Ok, so after I joined the Army, he quit the priesthood, which back then was really odd. A decade or so later he became a super gay “ex priest” activist in California.
Now, because of the atmosphere of the church, I think the whole gay thing is run amok. Back then, I think they forced you out, or maybe that is just my impression of growing up in Catholic environment.
But, like I said, he was Polish, and back then, they usually put the priests in parish’s (at least in Chicago) with their own ethnic group. I wonder in hind-sight if they shuffled him out of another area because they knew he was queer? Or maybe he did something?
The Polish priests and German priests were not commonly serving the same mass together back then. So this was kind of odd.
If the Bible was actually written by God and you believe what it actually says, (that’s me!) then you can be disparaged as a fundamentalist. (Thank you!) A scandal like this does not destroy the final truth authority. What if, however, the earth is millions of years old? Well then the Bible does not mean what it says. Or the book was not actually written by God. Or God wrote it but He has a twisted sense of humor! You must look for some other final authority.
If the final truth authority is yourself, as is with most people, then whatever you want to think or do cannot really be questioned. You can make up your own religion as you go along, which is fine or at least nobody can stop you, but neither can you question anybody else’s. What about all the contradictions? Does that feeling you are hearing come from the same God that someone else says he is hearing? At any rate, you can enjoy any religion scandal that destroys someone else’s final authority.
If the final truth authority is some holy man or woman, like Joseph Smith, or Ellen G. White, or Bill Hybels, then you must address any challenge to that person’s authority, and you can enjoy any scandal that challenges someone else’s source of authority.
If the final truth authority is the catholic church, then you must address any challenge to her claim that she speaks for God. If the church is the final authority, then who sits in Peter’s seat really matters. The Bishop of Rome changing the catechism may even matter, and Pope Francis’ so-called heresy as it is called here on this forum REALLY matters.
Are there many catholic people saying the authority of the church is challenged by the pedophile priest issue including any cover-ups? Many catholics answered that objection in their response to the play and film by John Patrick Shanley, “Doubt.” Please correct me with my many thanks.
I expect it now that whenever a thread is posted that addresses the Catholic church's sexual abuse scandals that what will follow is exactly their intent to point fingers at others and say, "They do it, too!". What is seldom mentioned is that this "problem" has been going on for CENTURIES in the Roman Catholic church! Read Peter Damian's treatise The Book of Gomorrah. Such debauchery was around a thousand years ago. It's not a new problem but its tentacles reach deep and is systemic. What will it take to eradicate such evil?
