It is clear that the princes of the NewChurch think they are equals to God Almighty, and have nothing to fear from His contempt for those who mislead or set a shameful and sinful example to His faithful. Likewise, individuals within the Mexican government, protecting these sub-humans, will have all of eternity to feel the pain awaiting their worldly choices.
Woe be their day of judgment. May it come with extreme haste.

Due to the Catholic priests speaking out in Mexico about the Mexicans prostituting the female children of Indians there. Being they have been expelling or killing priests lately, I kind of have some doubt about this story overall.

HUH? What priests have been, as you say, expelled or killed? Right now, the big stink in Mexico is that the Fox Administration (which is PAN, a Catholic party) seems to be harassing the lawyers for the plaintiff in one of these pedophilia abuse cases. Norderto Cardinal Rivera seems to be getting special treatment from the Administration to which he is not legally entitled.

This is killing two birds with one stone. First of all hiding the guilty, and secondly helping to eliminate the remaining vestiges of Catholicity in Mexico by destroying whatever is left of the Church's credibility there. Just lovely.

Not the article (although it's cheap, tabloid "reporting"). The comments of the poster are what are shockingly out to lunch.

Which comments - and why is he wrong?
To: murphE
Yes, I know the Cristero story very well... but that was in the 1920s and 30s. The Cristeros were also guilty of atrocities, bombing a Guadalajara-Mexico City train (and massacring the survivors) among the more spectacular. Most were assasinations of local officials and school teachers, though Alvaro Obregon's assassination in 1928 can also be laid at the Cristero's feet. I lived down the street from the former home of Madre Conchita, the Cristero's version of Osama bin Ladin -- which, to prevent it becoming a shrine to that movement -- was turned into a Lutheran Church.
At any rate, what does that have to do with pedophilia in the 21st Century?

Anyone who refers to the Catholic church and our bishops, cardinals and Pope in these terms is off his rocker:
It is clear that the princes of the NewChurch think they are equals to God Almighty, and have nothing to fear from His contempt for those who mislead or set a shameful and sinful example to His faithful. Likewise, individuals within the Mexican government, protecting these sub-humans, will have all of eternity to feel the pain awaiting their worldly choices.

OK - he's over the top...and yet SOME bishops do deserve this chastisement.
Go to .....
http://www.bishop-accountability.org
and you'll see what I mean.
There are many good bishops...but unfortunately there are some awful bishops as well.
We do have a problem with the Church in Mexico -that they would offer safe harbor to predatory child molesters.

Oh, check the sources! These people are left wing activists with an axe to grind. You can't take them seriously. Here's some information on a couple of the "leaders."

Whether they are leftist or not does not add or take away the legal documents and transcriptions of testimony posted on their website.

Why are you trying to defend a position that has little merit? Axe to grind?

I'm not sure which "position" it is you think I am defending.
It appears to me that you appear to be denying the fact that some bishops and cardinals repeatedly transferred molesters from parish to parish and then attempted to cover it up.
It is a matter of public record to view the documents now.
The truth is the truth whether you like it or not.
To: Scotswife
The article was a hit piece posted by a person who followed with a wacky attack on the Catholic Church.
Yes, there were problems.
No, the problems were no greater than what you seen in public schools, Protestant churches or any neighborhood.
Defending the legitimacy of a hit piece article is utterly unbelievable.

Look at the arrest reports. Look at the effeminate pansies who have dominated the Catholic clergy since the 1960s.
Reminds me of all of the schmucks at two Churches in Florida who defended their degenerate pastors after they were arrested (and later found guilty!).
