LOL, Ted Kennedy is NOT and never was ordained by the Church. Robinson was. Get it?

Well, I've tried to be civil, and you seem not to get it, so I'll cop YOUR attitude.

If you want to get all uppity, lets look at the little problem the Catholic church seems to have with their ORDAINED priests. Catholics (or at least JUST YOU) don't seem to have a problem with priests having a little fondling time with little boys. You're all about high and mighty when it comes to a "Protestant" "ordained" minister. You make accusations against all Protestants simply from 1 person you mentioned, or even the many who follow suite. So I guess if you're OK dispariging all Protestants for the actions of the few, then I guess you'd have no problem with ALL Catholics (including yourself) being accused of condoning and encouraging homosexuality and pedophilia, because of the actions of " a few" Catholic ORDAINED priests.

Hey maybe you yourself have partaken? I guess it doesn't really matter. You're willing to look the other way, so long as you get to feel superior to us unwashed masses.

“..because of the actions of “ a few” Catholic ORDAINED priests.”

Wow.

The sexual deviance in the matter of Catholic priests is a MORAL FAILURE of the individual and is NOT sanctioned by the church’s teachings. They are not ordained despite it and held up by teaching as blameless.

Certainly there is so much to feel superior to, but that is not the point. The incidence of 'married' Protestant clergy engaged in pedophilia is higher than that of 'unmarried' Catholic clergy. The point is that when you take upon yourself to rewrite your doctrines to allow for your own predilections, then you have departed from Christianity. Christianity comes from Christ. The doctrines of the Reformation come from men. Men like Luther who worshipped luxury and wealth; men like Calvin who worshipped power; and men like Zwingli, mystic and play soldier.

You either follow the Church of Jesus Christ or you follow the churches of men, including Joseph Smith, Aimee Semple MacPherson, or any of the myriad false prophets that have littered the landscape since the time of Jesus.
