You wouldn’t happen to have a site address for this actual publication, would you? Looking through Google, I have only found reposts of this jpg. I have not found an actual text publication in a real magazine thus far. Could it be a fake?

If true, then hellfire itself is not good enough for them. Nor their protectors and enablers. In the first millennium, they had a saying that the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. This is as true now.

It does not render the Faith untrue. It did not then, and it does not now.

It really is unbelievable to what extent they will go to claim the church is the victim.

Of course they can be pretty sure they will not create a scandal among the faithful that is just about impossible. It is the rest of the world that is horrified by what is going on.

Here is a similar defense of the indefensible that echoes exactly what is going on here:

“Such suspicions are heightened by the report in the same article of the arrest of a Brazilian priest in early November, caught in a hotel room with four boys. Trying to defend his action, the 43-year-old priest Fr. Felix Carreiro stated, “I know 12 other priests who do the same thing” November 16, 2005)”

Yes, St Anthony of Padua, Hammonton.NJ

Remember my priest is from Malta. Matter of fact my last two priests were from Malta.

They both loved to decorate the Church for Religious Holidays.

I sincerely hope the Church fights back using every means at its disposal.
Oh I am sure they will - we are on number 8 of the Decalogue of Impunity, 2005

your posting of the “ decalogue” was about the most inane posting I’ve ever seen. You’re better silent letting people think you are stupid, than speaking and proving it

oh please, you are obviously not able to handle being a Catholic...very difficult at times, but a person with even average intelligence does not condemn an entire organization for the actions of a few of her members.....Because many Americans abuse drugs, do we judge all Americans??????of course not. There are bad priests, there was a bad bishop in Milwaukee, but Catholocism is still the ONLY true christian church on earth.....there is no other....only Catholocism...you can’t make up exceptions...She’s the ONLY true church on earth

Such fervor for your faith is admirable. It’s startling, in light of that fervor, that you can’t seem to spell the name of it correctly.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Why not just let it go.
The “i” and the “o” are next to each other on the keyboard.

Just think of it as a typo and move on.

Life is short
and will soon be past.
Only what’s done for Christ
will last.

You folks wouldn’t be able to post a proper link to this putative Decalogue, would you. I am still unable to find a proper link to a real print magazine anywhere. If we cannot establish a real magazine printing a real article from the real Church, then I would expect a retraction in as public a fashion as the accusation was made.

what about them, they are a reference to the CATHOLIC church, Catholocism is the practice of being a Catholic. I might have said that Catholocism is the only true practice of Christianity on earth......but you get the idea....either be a Catholic or be a pseudo christian....your choice

NYer is one of the best Catholics I know. She

She? If she were a she, she'd have been a 'NYerine', no?

As I mentioned before, your zeal is admirable, even if your spelling is not, and it’s surely odd that you persist in misspelling the name of the faith you profess so strongly.
