Massive fire breaks out in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris
Fox News ^ | April 15, 2019 | Lucia I. Suarez Sang, Nicole Darrah

The famed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France was engulfed in flames on Monday leading to the collapse of the structure's main spire. The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed, and later spread to one of the cathedral's iconic rectangular towers.

The road to Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. It is a long and winding road and the Church always has a few. Or many.

True but they have to go against Catholic teaching.
Unlike Protestants who build alters to God in the name of such things.

How true. Catholics usually have well formed consciences. Helps with temptaions. Usually.

I’d love to, so start here:

https://bishop-accountability.org/priestdb/PriestDBbylastName-A.html

What’s so sad is that the list starts off with a molested 16 year old girl, and the second is of multiple boys.

That first page is only the “A” page.

Yeah, your church is loaded with disgusting gay pedophiles and you don’t even have the balls to admit it.

Your entire church is based on lies and led by Devil loving gay pedophiles destroying lives of children.

Enjoy, pedophile lover.

Laughable given an estimated 70% of catholic priests are gay the married clergy of my conservative denomination does not have a problem with homosexuality not to mention the rampant pedophilia in catholic clergy that is covered up and excused by the heirarchy of the Roman church. If you want to throw that stone at Protestants you better reinforce the glass walls of your own house.

The Catholic church’s apparent “infallibility” led to this crisis with the gay pedophiles leading all. Your church claims your first pope was married, then no more ever after that.

Want to tell us again just where and when the Catholic church went wrong? When everyone followed its own “infallible edicts,” superseding the Bible.

I am equally against gay pedophiles wherever they are, but especially in church leadership.

Mainline churches have accountability to their elder boards and their parishioners. The Catholic church has neither and can’t, by design, after Peter’s supposed time.

Seventy percent is a lie and false witness. You should do confession and Penance. I have known many priests and not a single one was or is gay, or a pedophile.

What is laughable though is that you think I can't say the same exact thing about the Priests at my Catholic Church who do not have those problems. That right there tells me you are a Hater.

I threw no stones. I posted the fact there are openly, not only gay, but LGBT Protestant churches. You just didn’t like hearing about it.

Dod you not read Berlin Freeper’s post? People in the Church go against the teachings.

The 70% is documented in several places widely referred to on previous threads. Even if it is only 50% do you deny your church has a huge problem with homosexuality and pedophilia that has been worsened by the Catholic heirarchy’s regular to deal with it? Let alone cocaine fueled homosexual orgies at the Vatican.....

If pointing out the truth makes me a hater then so be it. It bothers me not at all to have it pointed out that there are apostate Protestant denominations that have lost their way with homosexual clergy. I don’t belong to one of them. You do belong to a denomination with such a problem. Might want to be careful where you are throwing those stones .... your house is very thin glass on that one.

And if the church does nothing about it then they are complicit. If the church goes out if it’s way to hide any problems or transfer pedophile priests to new parishes, they are accomplices.

You have the whole internet but failed to show me a single Catholic leader who is sanctioning sex with children and people supporting that in the Catholic Church.

What you have is 140 “Publicly Accused Priests in the United States”.

The CC long ago has taken steps against such terrible crimes. That is the truth that makes clear you are a cheap Hater hell bent on making false witness against the whole church, myself and anyone who is Catholic.

But DecrepidMind, don’t just take my word that you are a crazed Hater...

Free Republic which has a Catholic thread category says you are a crazed Hater devoid of truth and should be ashamed of yourself for bearing false witness against thy neighbour.

We were posting in a thread some weeks ago about a Protestant preacher being accused of covering up for a pedophile at his church because “they were friends”.

You didn’t even care to acknowledge that when I pointed it to you. You instead ranted at me because I dared post truth about the Catholic Church.

So cut the cutsie bs. You only crap on the CC.

LOL! The entire Deep State in the Catholic church covers it up! How many more articles do you want me to publish just from the last couple days showing that the leadership is covering it up?

You probably believe Comey, Clinton, 0bama, Brennan, et. al, are fully for 100% above board, legal and moral practices, simply because they haven’t said they support corruption!

You make me laugh!! Keep it up!

In post 127 and in the thread I gave you a callout in, “General Assembly committee deals blow to many priest abuse victims,” I fully say I am equally against such abuse in their unScriptural churches, too.

So don’t feel left alone. Those churches are just as bad.

Excuse me but there are cases of straight Protestant sex abuse cases too.

Really, what planet are you from?

I have never known an abusive catholic priest in my life but I am to believe what you read from Hater blogs. That’s laughable.

At least my church has acknowledged the problem that you are totally denying and thus enabling.

Have you even spent 10 minutes reading the Bible?

Show me a prayer thread you posted in and I will do the same... waiting.

Or do you just abuse people about their church with lies and hate?

My denomination has no such problem. I know of one case of pedophilia in a church worker not clergy. The pastors immediately assisted with his transfer — to jail. How many priests are in jail?

You deny the rampant problems in your church and accuse me of living on a another planet? You are laughable and not deserving of serious reply. Have a good evening on your planet - wherever it is.
