Never use fallible human beings as your role model, ElPatriota, because they will ALWAYS disappoint you. Every single one. Jesus is the ONLY perfect human being. He is the only example you can place your confidence in.
You maybe right, remember I am not a practicing Christian, I sort of operate on my own beliefs now. Actually I don't think one needs a churc to tell you what is right or wrong... I would have liked to attend Catholic services becaus I love the church but I am mad at them. I am extremely pissed with the only chuch I have ever part of, ever, the Catholic Church... and for the same reasons... because they did not act properly when they learned of the abuses. I lost a lot of respect for the CC, and I give them hell every time I have a chance. Again, because they have been Hypocrites. To me, this issue will not be over until the day I hear the Pope himself, extending an apology for the church's actions... right after the Sunday mass to the entire world... a SINCERE APOLOGY, followed a vigorous clean up of the seminaries and a very CLEAR message that homosexuality is a SIN and not an accepted practice by the churh. Needless to say I do not support/agree with the plans to elevate our recently departed Pope to "Sainthood!"... because it was under his watch that these abuses took place. I know this will upset a lot of watered down Catholics but too bad. It must said.
