I took the liberty of bolding a bit more than was originally for impact.The teachers, ministers etc. are not "more guilty" nor did I say that...there
were just more of them.Your exact words were (copied and pasted) all those other groups are FAR more guilty of child molestation than are Catholic clergy.....far more.
No where did you say or imply it was because of numbers.
This is the second time the lack of edit function has proved useful.
the effecacy of a sacrament does not depend on the state of sin which the
minister of that sacrament is in....it probably effects his own soul, but not the sacrament. Consecration, even by a man who is not in the state of grace is no less effective than by a man in perfect harmony with God.GAG!!! That is just so revolting.
It ought to make a difference. God didn't tolerate it from His priests in Israel.
It's amazing the Catholics and the Catholic church think it alright for hands that touched young innocent boys in an inappropriate sexual way can also touch their sacred eucharist
If Jesus Christ did indeed become the eucharist, I'm sure the priest's hands would be dissolved when he touched.
Similar to touching the Ark of the Covenant should the punishment be. (Yoda speak...)
More like the guy who drank from the wrong chalice in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
