POPE GAVE HIS BLESSING (to transfer of pedophiles!)

Boston's Bernard Cardinal Law was just following orders from his boss - Pope John Paul II - when he sent suspected pedophile priests back to work in parishes with kids, a damning church document reveals.

The pope, in a 1999 order defrocking a Boston priest with a history of molesting boys, acknowledged that the man "ought to live away from the place where his previous condition is known."

I am pleased to see that you requested that whatever vulgar bigoted cartoon was posted be pulled.

I am a Roman Catholic who loves God's Church. I am critical of what I see as the destructive direction that modernists have taken the Church in the past 40+ years, but I wouldn't be fighting it out on these threads if I didn't care or if I hated the Church. Why waste my time?

Rgds,

The Church hierarchy is obviously corrupt to the core. Now, if the layity can just figure this out...

The Church hierarchy is obviously corrupt to the core.

And you make this judgement based on what? The behavior of Cardinal Law? The American bishops in general?

There are 4,439 bishops worldwide. The US Catholic population represents about 10% of the Catholic population worldwide.

The Catholic Church is the greatest "charitable organization" on earth. You will know a tree by its fruit.

Then they would probably convert of Buddhism because Christ is the core of the Church...

If Christ were in the flesh today, I would imagine he'd walk into the Bingo Parlor and start throwing tables over... :0

Have a blessed day.

In our belief it is impossible to live in the presence of God without a choice companion to whom you are sealed for eternity.

Are you saying that the Apostle Paul, indeed any Christian who died before your Joseph Smith made this rule, is not living in the presence of God?

[Dec31,1999]

I meant the American CC. There is certainly something very wrong with the Church hierarchy in the US, it's charitable work notwithstanding, wouldn't you say?

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Business as usual.

[Illbay]

I'm implying that the Apostle Paul, who was a fellow Apostle with Joseph Smith and thus knew about the "rule" as well as the Prophet Joseph did, is sealed to someone already.

Just because someone chooses to revere out-of-context correspondence, and to misinterpret its contents, doesn't mean ALL of us do.

I'd better not comment on that.

[Barnacle]

All the way to the top of the organization: Satan

I take it from your post that you think Satan is running the Catholic Church. It's amazing. You meet all kinds here on Free Republic. And as you have demonstrated, that includes some real ignorami.

[Barnacle]

I doubt that we will ever know if his Popeness was involved with the cover-ups of the scandals. But it does appear, that with the exception of Cardinal Law, he has tended to place the comfort of the Church over the comfort of the victims.

So you don’t know, but you are willing to accuse. Where’s your sense of justice? Pope John Paul II is as responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union as Ronald Reagan - maybe even more so. Let’s show some respect. He deserves better than you gave him.

So much for the Problem of the American church. The problem goes directly to the top. Amazing. One wonders if a Pope could be fired. Just brings up all kinds of questions.

Yes.

[TankerKC]

Have you hade reading comprehension problems long?

You repeatedly haunt Catholic threads to do nothing but raise your namesake.

One wonders, "Why are you so obsessed with attacking the Catholic Church?"

One wonders, "What is your major malfunction?"

Perhaps your home page sheds some light on these questions - Kokomo, Indiana; The only place I’ve been where election results for the Grand Dragon and Exalted Cyclops are considered front page news.

At least the Freepers on these threads are not afraid to declare that they are Catholic and defend our faith.

One wonders Havoc, what are you?

As a born in Church Catholic, I am appalled at the tolerance for homosexuality, pedophilia, and perversion that permeates our hierarchy and seminaries.

As I see it the only way to affect change is to cut off the money. This exactly what happened in Boston.

It wasn't until the Dioscease was bankrupt that the Vatican
saw fit to pressure Cardinal Law's resignation.

The Laity and the parish priests must rise up and seize control of the Church and force an upheavel. It starts by saying no to the money at the diocesean level.

Thank You
