Sex abuse in church

Richard

The priest is supposed to rep the BIG GUY and poses as a go-between to insure god hears you....

So, with that kind of system in place, what's the big deal?

He goes to another priest, cops to his love of little boys, gets his penalty and goes on his merry way......Not only that, it used to be that the priest was supposedly sworn to secrecy-so if you went to him with a set of sins like cheating on your wife with 14 women-no one would ever find out.

The parents of a molested child would probably go complain to the parish first.

The parish gets the drift, the priest confesses and gets moved away from the crime scene and everything is peachy.

You really cannot blame people who have god on their side.

I know this is not the religion thread but the fact that Rome has set the Pope up as Father on earth, and Priest can mediate for you to God goes against all Bible writings.

JOHN 14:6 (in various versions)

King James Bible
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

American King James Version
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.

American Standard Version
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.



This is reading on the subject of Rome putting itself above GOD

That is the 'pomposity' of it all.

The Roman Catholic religion has decided that they trump god and the law of the land. It's not the religion, per se. It's the people that run it.

Religion is a good thing.

But, most of the time it has to....

Live on it's own and not worry about the religion next door.
Has to take responsibility for the eff ups that ruin the 'experience'.
And just shut up.

Getting your ear pulled until it pops something inside your head is not a good
way to learn religion.........been there.......

That said?

I am a believer in corporal punishment.

If you were swatted once and told why? Hey, no problem.

Therein lies the question about how hard and how many.

My parents knew that once was enough and the look of displeasure on THEIR faces was enough of a deterrent to keep us in line.

But, that's another thread.....

I always wondered two things. Why parents allowed nuns to beat their kids. If a nun beat my kid she would be in the hospital, honest to god she would. That one still confuses me.

Two why nuns were so mean. I think I figured out number two. Sexual frustration. I think the screaming and the hitting and the meaness was their only way of letting go of that sexual build up.

With so many priests being gay, nuns were at a loss. Beating kids with a ruler is kind of Freudian, truly it is.

I never sent my kids to Catholic College.....no way !!!!
Too much abuse, sexual or otherwise for me to even consider that.
It's no wonder most Catholics one meets are pretty messed up in the head.
