Catholic Sex Abuse Hearing Descends Into `Shut Up' Order and Charge of 'Abomination'

Courthouse News Service ^ | March 25, 2011 | Reuben Kramer

[Gamecock]

OPC: Not even mentioned.

I really don't understand the FRoman Catholic fascination with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

I do suspect that, based on the survey, the Government could care less if someone is PC(USA), OPC, PCA. Just like they didn't count Southern Baptist vs. American Baptist. Likewise they didn't make a distinction between all of the houses of worship that claim the title Catholic.

“I really don’t understand the FRoman Catholic fascination with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.”

You’re in it.

[Gamecock]

So much so that Gregory XVI hated the trains because he said they would empower the middle class (read Calvinists.)

Last thing a Pope wants is Calvinists going around the countryside spreading the Gospel.

[Gamecock]

Sez who?

[WPaCon]

I believe Dr. Eckleburg herself.

[RnMomof7]

Bingo

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Roman Catholics account for 24% of the United States while Protestants make up over 50% of this country. Evangelical Protestants make up 26% of the United States.

As the Washington Times reported...

Evangelical Christianity has become the largest religious tradition in this country, supplanting Roman Catholicism, which is slowly bleeding members, according to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

As we can see from our exchanges, RC apologists try to finagle the language to say what it doesn't say. There are many denominations within the Catholic church, but RC apologists gloss over this uncomfortable fact.

Bottom line -- the RCC and its various denominations are receding while Protestant denominations are increasing.

As God wills.

[RnMomof7]

I really don't understand the FRoman Catholic fascination with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

The darkness hates the life

[RnMomof7]

Yep

[Gamecock]

Well, since you are such an expert on the workings of FR, perhaps you can show me where the venerable Dr E. said that.

[WPaCon]

Go ahead, keep on pretending that “Protestant” and “Evangelical” are denominations.

[ConservativeNewYorker]

The problem with your comment is evident in the post itself.
All of those Protestant Pastors were in fact, charged and convicted of their crimes. The real crime in the RCC abuse scandal, besides the abusive acts themselves, is the great lengths the RCC hierarchy went to protect the abusers. Not only were they not removed from Pastoral duties, and reported to the proper authorities, in most cases they were reassigned to parishes without the accusations against them, made public to the parishes they were headed to. Simply put, the RCC cared more about the abusers than the children in their care.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Huh? lolol. You're saying I said Gamecock was OPC?

Please, show us where I've said this.

(More evidence that you may have been around quite a long time.)

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Show me where I said Protestant was a denomination.

[WPaCon]

Nevermind, I thought the post was from Dr. Eckleburg.

I don’t know what denomination you belong to, Gamecock.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Last thing a Pope wants is Calvinists going around the countryside spreading the Gospel.

That is exactly correct. That, and an empowered middle class with mobility and Bibles of their own which they can actually read and understand.

Keep them poor. Keep them dumb. Keep them Roman Catholic. History reveals the blueprint for this pattern.

[WPaCon]

Well, I said Catholic was the largest “denomination,” and you keep saying no, “Protestant” and “Evangelical” are larger.

[WPaCon]

The RCC loves Communism

Again, people who make ridiculous comments generally will not be taken seriously.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Show me where I said Protestant was a denomination, as you asserted I said.

There are many Catholic denominations just like there are many Protestant denominations.

What part of the RCC do they think is not part of our society? What part don't they get it's not about them but the victims? The RCC isn't in a bubble to carry on their fantasies as they now realize they are in the hands of the law - and ignored the law in this instance for six years. What part about being above the law do they think applies to them?

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.

Prove it Prove it. I never saw any such posts nor know anyone thinking that way. All I seen is consistent - finger pointing away from the problem and casting blame on any one that dare speak/post about this type of abuse - from the DA, to the judge, to the media, to posters - all subject to derogatory remarks such as yours.

Reminder - there are those who oppose homosexuality are not members of your church - so they probably could give a flip about your priests - so to say anyones only concern is about priests pedophiles is really a low blow to parents everywhere. Are you speaking as a representative of the RCC? Seems like it doesn't stop with abusing children - now they reach out to offend parents everywhere. When a pedophile is part of society - he affects the whole society - lock them up. Why is the RCC dragging their butt on this matter?

They are not even willing to admit that perhaps in some instances false accusations have been made.

Well by now it was possible to know the truth - if the Grand Jury 2005 report wasn't ignored by the RCC. Should we think the PA RCC official possibly covered up innocent priests?

The first is the liberal secularists who hate the Church’s defense of life and Christian morality.

You mean the same liberals who embrace homosexuality? This isn't about abortion but homosexuality. The RCC are not the only ones holding the defense of life - that's belongs to the majority of Americans - no matter what the faith. I don't think you want to address that the liberal media is coming after the morality of your church - first one needs to show they have it first - and the Grand Jury report shows otherwise. Where was morality shown the victims in PA and to every other victim throughout the country.

The second is those rabid, vitrolic Protestants who hate Catholicism and Catholics. Guess who the group on FR are???

That's a vile statement - what proof do you have any Protestant hates Catholics? I'd have to hate all of my 40+ cousins and 3/4 of my 'growing up' friends. What part of hating evil is so repellent to you that you don't think anyone does? What part of hating sin and it's cover up isn't biblical? What part of justice are victims not entitled to? What part of justice does the RCC ignore?

Though som.accusers have admitted such and withdrawn their complaints.

Now is it your turn to withdrawn your complaints?
