Sex abuse in church

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.

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.
