Madame, this isn’t an academic debate here or a debate on theology or church protocol. Were talking about A CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO THINKS IT”S OKAY TO HAVE SEX WITH KIDS!! FOR GOD’s SAKE! You’re a mother? I’m a step-dad and uncle and a grandfather. Good Heavens, what has gone wrong in this world!?!
I’ve incurred enough ire from Catholics recently with my condemnation of those priests who molest children and the inaction of the Church hierarchy in addressing the issue to last me a lifetime.
I wasn’t particularly trying to bring it down to the level of an academic debate but rather was trying to use as much decorum as possible.
Thank you for your outrage. It is (very sadly) refreshing to hear from a Catholic. It shouldn’t be unusual, but notice that this thread is posted in News/Activism where it can be seen and there is a decided lack of outrage at the moment from the vast majority of the FRoman Catholic contingent. Instead you get posts like post 60, which twist the whole thing around and attack the person who condemns this priest’s stand claiming that it’s about bigotry against the Catholic church.
Since when did calling sin, *sin* become *bigotry*???
I hate to say it, but it does seem like the gates of hell are prevailing against the Catholic church. The infiltration by homosexuals WILL destroy it from within if not dealt with and that doesn’t seem to be happening rapidly enough to forestall the inevitable.
