Sex abuse in church

[pomtzu]

The Catholic Church is a rich nation all in itself, and makes it's own rules. Money talks, so is it any wonder why they get away with what they do???

If some little Southern Baptist minister did something even remotely close to what some of these Catholic priests have done, the public would want to track him down and hang his sorry a$$ from the highest tree!

I am neither Catholic or Southern Baptist, but I would like to see the "proper" justice carried out, no matter what church they are affiliated with. Is it any wonder why so many people continue to leave the church?

I am considered a Catholic, but I don't like religion, personally. I don't go to church, read the bible, etc. I don't do any of that. I believe in God to an extent, but I'm mostly all for science. I am sometimes ashamed for making confirmation 3 years ago...Creationism is all bs to me, but I see we're not here to debate that. This is one reason I don't like my own religion. I don't like the rules of the church, I don't like what goes one, and I most certainly do NOT like the control over all the people in the religion.

I agree, PomTzu. It really isn't surprising that so many people are leaving.
