Remember though, you will ONLY hear about ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS sexually molesting/abusing children/people in this society. It is not unique to the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church just happens to be the MSM's favorite subject when it comes to this...it DOES happen in EVERY church...it just doesn't get reported...I hate the media's double-standards...
I'm sorry but the "every one else molests" argument won't fly. This freak got off light with only a 5 year sentence. Courts Martial are routinely covered in the press all the time, no exception should be made for this perverted sodomite because of the church he belongs to.
Certainly abuse happens in all churches, synagogues, mosques...but I don't fault the Catholic church because of abuse but rather that they seem to encourage the abuse to take place with their policies towards predatory priests.
Double standards??? "IF" this activity had not been tolerated, covered up, paid off, the MSM would have NOTHING to say.
Maybe this is good in a roundabout, find a silver lining sort of way. It will force cleansing on the church while the others continue to sink under the weight of their own depravity.
I think one reason the media DOES focus on the RC is that we are one of the few churches with the unmitigated gall to actually stand up and say as a body that homosexuality is a disordered lifestyle. So, since to the left the only sin there is, is hypocracy, they are all over us like flies on honey.
They do not understand that to us, the fact that all of our members, even (especially) priests do not live up to the ideal is no reason to scrap it, it is all the more reason to keep it, and strive ever harder to reach it.
You are exactly right. Homosexuals molesting boys and young men occurs in every occupation--the media focuses on the church to undermine what is mostly an honorable institution of Christianity. I can remember living around the Bay Area of San Fransicko around 1970 and there was plenty of talk about queers picking up young boys. It was, and still is, a perverted obsession with most of the male homosexual crowd.
True.
it just doesn't get reported...
Most of the reports come out of official investigations. Yes, there are examples in every church, but the relative proportion of priests engaged in abuse appears to be much higher in the Roman Catholic church. The RCC has acknowledged an astonishing number of abuse cases. The RCC is experiencing a serious financial impact. This would not happen if the cases could not be proved in court, they would not be paying off if the only problem were media allegations. Other churches have been affected, but not to the same degree. There are websites that cover charges of abuse in other churches, but the sheer numbers don't seem to compare. The RCC needs to figure out why this has happened and clean house rather than trying to spread blame.
Denial aint just a river in Egypt.
