This thread is shocking, things that are going on! It reminds me of how a scripture says God will put into the hearts of politians and use them to turn against them and devour them. Apparently the end of false religion..and a starting sign to the times of the end...but then they will turn against God and his people, but hey thats just what the bible says...

Instead of doing that, I wish he would come down from that cloud he sits on with some winged angels and a few apostles and tell us all to behave.

I wish that whether or not someone believes in god, they would just know (or learn, be taught?) to be decent to others.

It seems so simple to me.

Agreed

That would certainly clear a few things up if her did.

Not sure if Jesus or Pope John Paul II or the Church is to blame.

I really hope very much that you are expressing shock at the molestation of thousands of children and not at the paltry words of condemnation we are using.

Archbishop Robert J. Carlson claims to be unsure that he was aware a priest sexually abusing a child constituted a crime when he was auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, according to a deposition released Monday.

During the deposition, attorney Jeff Anderson asked Carlson whether he knew it was a crime for an adult to engage in sex with a child.

“I'm not sure whether I knew it was a crime or not,” Carlson replied. “I understand today it's a crime.”

Jesus. He can't be that dense (or can he)...

His awareness of molestation being a "crime" or not (c'mon)...how about simple right and wrong?

Don't fuck with children.

Don't fuck children.

Simple.

You'll have to forgive his ignorance.

1. Raping small children has been commonplace for many men of the cloth. How was he to know that it was wrong (a crime) when it was a way of life?

or...

2. Exposing the deviance within the Catholic Church is a clear threat to their organization. Just as corporate executives would scramble to minimize damaging accusations against their company to minimize the fallout, these executives do the same.
