[Future Useless Eater]

Why [has he] not acted more aggressively in combating the priest-sexual abuse scandal in America...

The question is much bigger than that! Our American media keeps framing it that way...(it being 'just' about pedophilia)
But the real question is WHY is the Catholic church SILENT on HOMOSEXUALITY???

They'll say that using condoms is a sin as it prevents the creation by God of a human life.

But they won't say that fudge-packing is a sin... even though it ALSO prevents God from creating a human life.

It won't say the gay lifestyle is a sin... even though it it can't procreate... It can only RECRUIT!

We now know why... The gays have taken over the church and it is now a moral sewer.

I won't support them financially any more! And I look forward to eventually finding a replacement to their failed morals.

You clearly have not been paying attention and have no idea what you are talking about. Most of the recent attacks on the Church have their roots in the Gay community. Biggoted attackers are the unwitting rubes of militant queers. Yourself included.

Pope John Paul II Speaks About Homosexuality

Vatican January 25, 1999 (LSN), Last Thursday, John Paul II addressed officials and lawyers from the Tribunal of the Roman Rota on the occasion of the opening of the judical year. He took the opportunity to speak about the incongruity of homosexuality. After noting that the only appropriate form of conjugal union comes within marriage, the pope said, "one sees the incongruity of pretending to give conjugal dimensions to the union between persons of the same sex."

"Such union is to be opposed," he continued, "above all because of the objective impossibility of being fruitful in the transmission of life, according to the plan inscribed by God in the very structure of the human being." John Paul also noted that among persons of the same sex "there is an absence of those interpersonal complementary dimesnions which the Creator willed, both on the physical and biological level, as well as in the eminently psychological plan, between man and woman."

To those who would appeal to human freedom to justify homosexuality the pope said, "To think of liberty as a moral permissiveness or the ability to infringe the law, is to twist its true nature." "Liberty, in fact, consists in the ability of the human being to acknowledge he is responsible in other words, that as an individual he can choose to do the will of God as expressed in the law, bringing himself ever closer to be the image of his creator.

You're mixing up the RC with the Anglican...

[wideawake]

You're a mealy-mouthed liar.

The Church has openly and repeatedly condemned sodomy as a grave, deadly sin.

Read the Catechism.
