I understand men have freewill. And I realize that men are not perfect and often fall short. Yet I can't fathom how God would allow these men, and since abuse isn't always sexual, women commit these wrongs against His most precious people........children.

We are constantly reminded that many of our societal ills are routed in removing God from our culture. Yet God was front and center in the church. He hadn't been abolished from being inside the walls. He was prayed to not only daily, but on an ongoing basis. And of course not just the Catholic church. But these types of sins and crimes happen to often under the steeples and in other houses of worship.

It isn't God's doing, it is our doing. He has done everything necessary for us to avoid these abominations.

Matthew 18:6

5 And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.
6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!…

This is NOT God's fault. He sent an instruction BOOK on how to have His protection and blessings. Man/woman/ since Genesis in majority decided to do things their own way. Notice what Adam did when he got caught naked ...

Genesis 2: 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

**********12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.*********

God keeps the perfect record and a bunch of perverts are NOT hidden from Him... The 'head' of this religious organization has been making excuses and whitewashing this perversion to my knowledge, in their midst since the 70's. They claim this is just a 'homosexual' problem because the majority of the victims are post-puberty. It just does not 'sound' as bad to paint the picture that these boys were willing participants and sinned just as much as the pervert priests. God is not conned with this whitewash.

“Yet I can’t fathom how God would allow these men, and since abuse isn’t always sexual, women commit these wrongs against His most precious people........children.”

Because God doesn’t give a rip about you or your kids.

Isn’t it obvious? God was NOT front and center in the lives of these men. Some people will blame God, but that blame is misplaced. Mankind blew its chance for a world free from sin, in the Garden. There is evil in the world, and will be until that point in time that God says, “Times up. If you’re not on the boat by now, I’m sorry, but you’re lost forever”. Jesus is our Ark. Even those who have taken refuge in that Ark, commit sins; we are but flesh. But those in positions of authority, are held to a far higher standard, and what they have done, while it can be forgiven, must be revealed and dealt with in THIS life with not only man’s law, but the Church’s law. And what is to be done, if the Church will not follow its own laws?
