It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the source of the pedophile scandal and why it is occuring in the Catholic Church , this when we are objective and let the scripture speak for itself .Otherwise , where is the true authority in matters of religion ? Is it not in the scripture itself ?.- voa -davidk Church of Christ , 7/3/02
Um, sin?
Do you think marriage cures sex abuse, or that celibacy causes it? Or that catholics forbid marriage?
What does it mean concerning those who teach it , and those who practice it ?What are the fruits of their erroneous teaching ? To begin with ,one fruit is evident in the news today :The worldwide Pedophilia scandal in the Catholic sect . The authority in matters of religion , God's word , what is qouted to you and the following , says it is apostasy , and unnacceptable if one wants to follow God , Christ ,and wants to go to heaven .

" In vain do they worship me , teaching as precepts the commandments of men ". - Jesus Christ " You shall know them by their fruits ." - Jesus Christ
