For my part, I’m appalled that anyone would want to drag the name of Christ thru the mud - Catholic or Protestant. The non-Christians I meet don’t distinguish between Presbyterian, Catholic or Baptist - they just call ALL Christians hypocrites.
There has always been evil people pretending to be Christians in the church, and always will. But I’d like to ask both sides of the dueling “Who has the worst people” conflict to ask themselves, “Does this advance the cause of Jesus Christ in a fallen world?”
Uh???? It doesn't tak a great deal of thought to recognize the homosexual and pedifile issues within the church are hurting the entire Christian community. Which is why even those who are not Catholic are crying out against the VAtican for not taking care of the problem with the force and power it's been given by Christ to do!
The fact they are not doing so...but dragging their feet, excusing and tiptoeing still around these issues lends one to wonder of the condition of the Vatican itself...since it is the leadership.
Talk is sooo cheap in this case that it gets infuriating, all the changed requirements have their place...but the fox remains in the henhouse. Generally one goe after the fox...then determines how to keep it out from then after.
But what the Vatican is doing is just writing and speaking and no quick action whatsoever that has either defussed this nor discouraged this...rather because they have not these sodomites and perverts are dancing in the street in full view of the audiance....beyond shameful!
Right on... well said.
