When is this nightmare going to end!?
"...At a minimum, the scope of the suspensions underscored the grand jury’s contention that the archdiocese had failed to clean house after a grand jury report in 2005 found credible accusations of abuse by 63 priests. And it suggested that potentially, predatory priests had had access to thousands of children for years..."
This story was on page 13 of the "New York Times."
Does anyone not believe that if this story had been "21 Baptist or Presbyterian or Methodist ministers suspended for sexual abuse in Philadelphia," it would be front page news instead of buried on page 13?
Isn’t this the third time this has been posted already? Is it really necessary to post it again?
I always wondered why anybody would continue to donate to the Catholic church, when a good portion of that money will probably have to go lawyers and victims of sexual abuse cases.
When the majority of the recruits are homos how can we expect any thing but this kind of action from them?
I Timothy 4:1-3...forbidding to marry....is giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrine of devils.
A celibate clergy makes no sense. What you end up with is a clergy dominated by men with a lot of baggage. Most normal men would not take up this vocation, while deviants would. The deviant feels that by taking the vow of celibacy he can be free of his deviancy, but it never works. It will always come out in the end. Back in the 50’s a friend of my father went to seminary briefly. He came back a told my father that the place was just full of homos.
How many have been falsely accused? (There is $$$$ in it, and plenty of it.) We’ll never know. Remember the ‘recovered memory’ mania? This is the same.
He we go again, good grief!
Prayers for the Archiocesse.
