Allow me to be so rude as to talk about Recovering Ex-hippie as if he weren’t here.
Cause he treated me so rudely.
He says I don’t accept the decades of sexual abuse that has gone on for decades in the Catholic church.
On he goes to say there is some Gay mafia.
AB, if I knew of one single priest that was abusing anyone I would form a protest of my own and began a massive march.
The exhippie guy, well he knows everything but he says I ignore it. Again talking as if I am not present.
Of course I don’t know all the priests in the country. But I know about as many as most people. I don’t know of any that are sexual abusers but if I did, I’d react.
I am not going to join some guy and boycott my church as demanded by a guy that is the equivalent of that Native American drum player here on FreeRepublic JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS SO!!!!!!
Anyway, AB, speaking to you rudely about this exhippie guy, then he says I am an example of Catholics who ignore this stuff.
You are kind, AB, trying to explain intelligently about why you, and many millions of others, are Catholic and want to remain that way.
And because of this, they infer that you somehow are in favor of sexual abuse.
Just like the liberals of today it would seem. Accuse someone of inaction or not caring if they don’t do what you think they should do.
Seems the exhippie is still a non-thinking hippie.
Well I can say that in a community I lived it was well known the Catholic Priest there had taken in a male kid on hard times and groomed him to become his “companion”. I asked a catholic why this was possible and they said it was just accepted and nobody would say anything even though everyone knew what was going on....they didn’t want to loose the Priest they liked.
