Open Season on the Catholic Church

I don't have faith in the government to do anything. While I don't believe in God, I do very much believe in the Christian way of life. And I don't deny the good done by the teachings of the church. I just wanted to make the point that a great many of wars of history and the resultant unnecessary deaths that occurred were incited by the church. While it generally has been a force for good, at times the church has been the tool of evil and corruption.

The thing that gives them away is the fact that they do not discuss any other religion or organization.

Just you wait! The Protestant churches will be next.

It doesn't excuse the Church but in a society that insists that homosexuality is a perfectly normal option, it's pretty hypocritical for the media to focus on the Church only.

The media is just spinning their tangled web of lies and deceit, as usual. If they are so set on making homosexuality 'normal' you'd think they'd be congratulating the Church on their 'tolerance!'

I am and always will be a devoted Catholic no matter what. To me, being Catholic doesn't mean what I find on earth because that will always be corrupted. What is more important is what I aspire to in the next life. People who will leave the Catholic Church because of scandal really were never doctrinal Catholics at all. This will be a good weeding out process on both sides of the altar.

I hope the Protestant Church does not have to go through this because it is heartbreaking.

Sorry to break the bad news to you, but the Church, as a whole, will be persecuted. This means all the denominations as we are all one in Christ.

The good news is that one scandal after the next makes the Body of Christ band together ever more tightly, in unison and in prayer. The Church has become complacent through tolerating liberalism and is now under attack from those very same evil forces. However, the Church will survive this. History shows the Church has survived throughout, and that fact alone has the liberals scared to death.

Anyone who picks a fight with God Almighty and his Church is sure to lose.
