There are 2 Billion Catholics, and a large clergy that serves them. To state that there are not any bad actors in the clergy would be false. They are weeded out and the Vatican has taken an active role to ensure this happens.
Equally as false is your statement that the Catholic Church supports or condones gay clergy or gay marriage. It doesn't.
Nonsense to your assertion that there is no comparative stature to your statements regarding bashing the churches verbally (again without substance) and the guy who vandalized the churches. Apparently you agree with his statements, you're just unwilling to act them out.
Political correctness is what you espouse, bashing the church is the vogue among liberal circles. Bash the church, but do it without fact; just feelings, conjecture and malice.
You and Bill Maher, joined at the hip.....
“Trying to obfuscate your original statement of:
“Looks like the list he hit were all supporters of gay clergy and gay marriage,too.””
Nope. Can’t obfuscate a statement that you never made.
“To state that there are not any bad actors in the clergy would be false. They are weeded out and the Vatican has taken an active role to ensure this happens.”
Well, I’ll grant you that they at least seem to be making some effort at that now that Benedict is in there, but before that, your statement would have had me rolling on the floor laughing for about twenty minutes. I’ll give them credit for taking steps in the right direction lately.
“Nonsense to your assertion that there is no comparative stature to your statements regarding bashing the churches verbally (again without substance) and the guy who vandalized the churches. Apparently you agree with his statements, you’re just unwilling to act them out.”
It’s not nonsense. There is no comparison. Most people learn that stick and stones are not the same as words when they are children, we even have a little rhyme about it. Besides which, I don’t agree with his statements one bit, and any objections I have to any of these churches would be pretty much diametrically the opposite of the ones that he has, so this assertion of yours is patently ridiculous.
“Political correctness is what you espouse, bashing the church is the vogue among liberal circles.”
I guess you don’t understand what “political correctness” means, in the context I was using it. It’s got nothing to do with what is in vogue with liberals, it has to do with trying to suppress a point of view that you don’t want to debate by saying it is somehow unacceptable to hold that opinion, and ostracizing anyone who holds it. Conservatives as well as liberals do that, although liberals have made a veritable artform of it.
