Occasionally maybe no for a Proddy.

For RC’s they’ve usually earned it 10 X’s over. Their brazenness seems to be ignored for dozens of posts if not hours and days far too often.

There have been such evil behaviours far and wide, and even amongst the clergy--not limited to Catholics by any measure.

Only the Catholic church gave them cover from the law and moved them to different hunting grounds..

"A while" wouldn't be unbelievable. You said you "lurked" long enough to make the statement that whenever someone was booted off a thread you determined that person was a Roman Catholic.

It doesn't take very long at all to tell if someone is Catholic or not.

They're all still here.

Buccaneer81 is not.

No, I don't know of any Roman Catholic who's been kicked off the forum permanently.

I'm only talking about Catholics being kicked off particular threads, not being zottd.

Sure there is...And there's an anti muzlim bias...And there's an anti Jehovah Witness bias as well...
And there's an anti Arian bias...And an anti Albigensian bias...And there's an AnnaBaptist bias...And there's an anti Nestorian bias...And there's an anti Calvin bias...And we get anti Jewish bias too...
How many of those camps do you fit into???
Quit whining and try to act as an adult...

Exactly ...There is a bias for the gospel that is a natural bias against false teaching

It’s not that you lurked, it’s that you speak with the authority of someone who has be a FReeper for years.

It seemed to me that people were doubting that I have lurked a while before signing up.

“Evangelical” is indeed a denomination.

False

From CatholicNews.Com:

Nationwide, 54 percent of Catholics supported Obama and 44 percent voted for McCain. Of the total population, 52 percent voted for Obama and 46 percent for McCain.

WOW! Papists are more lest than the rest of America. Thanks a lot Catholics.

Petronski was last here exactly 13 months ago, and he handed a particular Calvinist her hat-—with her head in it ;-)

Ohh I suspect he is still around with a different IP :>)

Cat pictures are usually posted by girls, Mark.

Well, I'm not a girl and I love cat pictures.

PRIESTS ACCUSED of SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WHO WORKED As MILITARY CHAPLAINS or CHAPLAINS at VA HOSPITALS
* * * * * * *

“This page presents a preliminary list of accused priests who have worked as military chaplains and chaplains at Veteran’s Administration hospitals.

It has been common practice for bishops and superiors of religious orders in the United States to use chaplaincies in the armed forces as a convenient place to send priests who have molested children.

As a result, servicemen have been sexually assaulted, the children of soldiers have been abused, and children visiting a parent or relative at a VA hospital have been endangered.

A priest’s time in the military often ends with a transfer back into a parish, where parishioners know nothing of their new priest’s sexual history, and the priest can use his military career in grooming new victims.

The preliminary list on this page provides the names of 95 priests accused of sexual abuse who have worked as military chaplains and/or VA chaplains, with information on their military service and links to articles.

Our 95 is a small fraction of the true total.

Yet when Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien of Baltimore, who ran the Archdiocese for the Military Services in 1997-2007, was asked in 2004 to give an account of sexual abuse in his chaplain ranks, he could count only 2 offending priests.”

However there is a distinct number of people on Free Republic who use this scandal and its horrors to condemn everything about the Catholic Church even its dogmas. They are never concerned about sex abuse victims except for those who were victims of priests. They don’t care about other institutions shuffling abusers and covering up abuse. They are not even willing to admit that perhaps in some instances false accusations have been made. Though som.accusers have admitted such and withdrawn their complaints.

Everything is not about the wrongs done by clergy and bishops. It is about hating Catholicism and hoping and praying that this crisis will lead the the Church’s downfall and her silence.

There are two groups who embrace this idea. The first is the liberal secularists who hate the Church’s defense of life and Christian morality. The second is those rabid, vitrolic Protestants who hate Catholicism and Catholics. Guess who the group on FR are???

Lovely.

Yet notice the very first comment you made in this post was to deflect attention away from 37 accused priests in one city in one diocese and onto public schools...

It is also the concern of faithful Catholics. It is also the conccern of those who see cover up of sexual abuse in other institutions such as public schools.

The really pathetic thing about this entire scandal is that Protestants seems to be more concerned about the welfare of Roman Catholic children than their own parents are.

Maybe those who defend these pederasts don't have children. God forgive those who do.

That picture is nice, but as a Catholic, I prefer my cats to be homosexual.

All my cats have been rendered asexual. Perhaps this is a good idea to guarantee celibacy by those who take the vow????

So he remembers only two of 95 cases. Convenient forgetfulness.

Awwwe poor ex-Catholic babies.. one would think they were not allowed to return to their church.

They could easily come back, instead of spreading hatred and being in denial about how poor their decision to leave the Church was.
