There is nothing more current then Islam and Gene Robinson?The Catholic Church is not being split up like the Episcopalians because of homosexuality. Islam is in every page of the news, with it's good bad and uglyness. Then, why not chose those as topics, or has the Catholic Church just an easy target to drag through the mud.

Read my post #38...

Dude! We do have the capacity to deal with more than one issue at a time!

This very forum you are posting to seems to discuss more than one issue at a time!

[Bluntpoint]

You would be a great news editor.

Cub Reporter: "Chief, what stories should we run today?"

Smartass: "Just pick one, we would not want to tax our readers."

[Smartass]

Fine, then those issues should have been separated from outset.

[Bluntpoint]

Separated from what?

Public knowledge?

[Bluntpoint]

Can you possibly see that your attitude is the very same that may have prolonged and acerbated the problem in the church?

[Smartass]

Then, excuse me. Have fun with your bashings.

[HarleyD]

"The Catholic Church is not being split up like the Episcopalians because of homosexuality."

Not yet.

[Bluntpoint]

Bashing?

Point to the last post about the Gene Robinson where someone screeched:

"ENOUGH WITH THE ESPISCOLPIAN BASHING!"

I your rush to point fingers at the Catholic Church, both of you missed the fact that this has nothing to do with pedophilia. These are priests looking for other priests.

I don't care. Excommunicate the lot. Anathema sit.

However, leave our church alone. As with any large denomination, it will slowly be cleaned up. Maybe slower than faster. Meanwhile please give it a break, while they get it right!

In order to get it right, we need a lot more sunshine thrown into dark corners. The cancer of homosexual priests has not been eliminated. Until people start to understand the depth and breadth of the crisis--which is STILL not being fully addressed--nothing will change.

Personally, I'd be fully behind the outing of every single homosexual bishop and priest.

>>The REAL problem with the Church is people who state that "there is nothing wrong to see here" and have been in denial about problems within our Church for YEARS.<<

In addition, these same folk have castigated and driven away those people who refused to bury their heads in the sand and continue to support the failing church.

[Smartass]

In all due respect. This isn't about enlightenment, keeping one's head in the sand, slamming the closet door, or stiffing open discussion. I agree it is about outing and exposing bad-apple priests. My point is, give the Catholic Church and the subject due rest. There are thousands of good hard working Catholic priests, that are doing Christ's work daily, that have taken a beating. I believe you'll agree, the Church has not fully recovered, or have addressed the problem yet. There is still much more to be done. However, bad pedophile/homosexual priests can still be discussed without associating them directly with the Church and the Catholic Faith. Pedophile priests that resign, or defrocked will find their way to their own hell, one way or the other...with, or without our help.

[Bluntpoint]

Ah! Don't worry! It is just a priest! He drilled a hole in the wrong locker room again!

Just when you thought that the use of vivid imagery in the written word was becoming a dying art...
