Bible is clear on homosexuality being an abomination to God. I do believe many people in the catholic church are Christians, but the church itself is not. Too many church teachings are in direct violation of God’s word. Time will tell. I know Jesus commands me to love my neighbor, I do admit I struggle with that and maybe I come across poorly but that’s not my intent. I do care about people and hope and pray many eyes are opened.

As a practicing Catholic I was taught to focus on the sin and not so much on the sinner. If the Cardinal does not believe paedophilia is a sin he shouldn’t represent the Church. Let us pray on that.

Cardinal Napier's statement wasn't an expression of Catholic doctrine OR policy. It was in violation of what the Catholic Church teaches about human freedom and responsibility, and shows either ignorance of, or disregard for, morality as defined by Divine and Naural Law.

It shows a culpable failure to protect children from the predations of others.

Please do not generalize from the asinine Napier to the whole Catholic Church, when he is in fact trashing its teachings.
