The poster called Morgana sure likes pointing out sins of others.

What kind of skeletons does he have in his closet?

Be a shame for those to come to light!

Moreover, it occurs to me that you could literally accuse ANY group of people of “hidden abuse” in the sense that we all do things we are ashamed of (or should be ashamed of) in our treatment of others, and prefer that it not come to light. It really tells us nothing about how the group in question compares to the rest of the human race.

“someone else wants to destroy or take revenge on,”

Were you not one of those on here the last few days cheering on the genocide of innocent women and children in GAZA?

BTW..you also made the accusation that I was Muslim if I remember right.

Look in the mirror. You’ll see the reflection of a hypocrite.

The whining and crying from protestants is epic hypocrisy.

Thanks for posting.

Every person has their sins, every system has it's flaws and abuse of the system happens regularly.

Part of the human condition.

“They should look to the Pope for inspirations of goodness and steadfastness.”

Because it says to do that in the Bible. Oh wait... it doesn’t.

You’ve been reading the Bible again, haven’t you? Don’t deny it.

Right. Unlike Catholics, I’m allowed to do that. 😉

The epic hypocrisy is Catholics whining and crying when allegations of sexual abuse by priests are posted and then turn around and post almost nothing but allegations of abuse by others as if it’s written in stone.

If they don’t like being on the receiving end, then why is it OK to dish it out?

ROFL!!!

You and others throw no end of crap (some deserved, most not) at Catholics. You've done this for years. Now ... somebody is ripping off the veil and showing crap on your side of the fence ... and you whine about it.

It's hilarious.

The excerpt didn’t match the Mail’s sensationalist headline.

In noticed that, too.

Which is why this thread is nothing but a hit piece besmirching Christ and Christians.

you can tell their houses cause the window trim’s are always painted white

well, that and there’s no electric/phone line going to the house

sometimes a phone on a pole near the road

people make good money here from them carting them around to and fro...

Not exactly.

The pharisees of Jesus day kept the Law to the letter and He had some harsh things to say about them.

No amount of works can save or free anyone.

It is strictly the work of God in one's life than accomplishes that because He is the only One who has the power to either save or free you.
