Hey, Race, I'll make you a deal. You be honest with us, and we'll be honest with you. 'kay?
It's not the failure of Catholics to pick up pitchforks and torches that bothers you. It's their failure to immediately run down to Brother Jake's Full Bible Fire-Breathing Independent Baptist Church, "git saved," and sign on the dotted line that bothers you. Let's just be forthright here. You have a long history of making your position vis-a-vis Catholicism very clear. We know where you stand, so don't try to dissemble.
Now, Cardinal Sodano is admittedly highly placed, but he is not "the Vatican," any more than Colin Powell is "the Federal government". And his complaint is that it is a "minor thing," but that the media blew it out of proportion. That's true, to a point, but not helpful.
My message, as a Catholic, for the Cardinal is very simple:
Your Eminence, the problem is not with the news media. The problem is that too many of our priests are unfaithful, too many of our bishops are cowards, and too many of our seminaries are, or at least were, academies of homosexual perversion and feminist poison. That is something Rome can fix. Don't pass the buck, Eminence. Rome has failed us. They have failed us in appointing men like Mahony, Weakland, Hubbard, O'Brien, and others. Pick bishops who are prophets instead of politicians, martyrs instead of managers. Pick successors to the apostles, not golf partners for the Rotary Club. The mitered politicians, fundraisers, moneymen, and managers we have at the heads of dioceses are destroying the American church from within.
Nice hate speech. Now hear this.
I do believe that the RCC is not Biblical Christianity. We all know that.
But for you to let these people bugger your children, and you do nothing about it...
You dont need me to point it out, the unsaved, Satan worshipping world knows this, you dont need anyone who is from some Brother Jake's Full Bible Fire-Breathing Independent Baptist Church to say it.
You as a human being need to say it yourself.
And since you wont, it must be because you endorse it.
I cannot imagine any cult putting up with this. Not one. Not for generations, not for over a century, not for over the centuries.
And you are too obsessed with opposing what I believe to see your own lack of understanding on this.
What I believe about the Bible has absolutely no bearing on this. My flesh is absolutely dumbfounded that people who call themselves RC are not picking up torches to their churches and burning them to the ground for this scandal. With the Priests inside, too. You are letting the RCC bugger your children, and now the Vatican says it is no big deal.
And I never said once, that I can remember, that it was because of my Fundamentalist beliefs that I held to that idea.
I said it because I am a man, and what was going on to hundreds, maybe thousands of young men being covered up by the entire hierarchy of your religion and NOW, Fully, Formally, being dismissed as if it was nothing more than an act of stealing a candy bar...
Only a sick pervert would defend that.
Your failure to see the difference between a Scriptural debate, and the open common sense reaction to a religion defending buggering little boys...You have got to be one sick person.
