[Antoninus]

And yet, we still love all of you no matter how much you hate and despise us, join together with the enemies of all Christians, and help them spread slander about us.

This is the hardest part of Christianity--loving those who tell lies about you--even in movie form.

You know about the kinds of movies that get recognized for Academy Awards. For Heaven's sake, Michael Moore wins them. Again, siding with those who hate ALL of us because they attack Catholics will not save you in the long run.

If you want to know the real truth, read this:

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And yet, we still love all of you no matter how much you hate and despise us, join together with the enemies of all Christians, and help them spread slander about us.

Calm down. Step away from the keyboard. No one "hates you." No one is "joining with your enemies." No one is "slandering" you, since "slander" implies untruths.

The fact Rome is riddled with pederasts is not conjecture, but fact.

And it has been for centuries.

"Liberals" may have infiltrated your church, but they join the fascists who've always been there in one big scary stew of antiScriptural practices, beliefs and behaviors.

WHAT slander?

Catholics on FR have hardly shown love to those with whom they disagree. You may be different, but don't paint either side with a broad brush.

If liberals have infiltrated your own church, then KICK THEM OUT. But don’t accuse us of slander for pointing out what everyone knows to be true.

How can you accuse us of slandering the RCC when things like this book admit that what we say is true?

Again, the criticism isn’t that stuff like this happens. it’s expected to for a variety of reasons. The criticism is int he inept and incompetent dealing with the matter.

Instead of dealing with it promptly and severely, the RCC has dragged its collective feet and in doing nothing has given its priests no reason to NOT engage in this kind of abominable behavior.
