Gee, Alex, does that mean you believe that there are as many priests as there are school teachers?
He didn’t say there were ten times the PROPORTION!
There are four thousand priests accused of sexual offenses. Ten times four thousand is forty thousand. If anything, his estimate of ten times more is a drastic UNDERSTATEMENT.
ROTFL!
I agree. It wasn't what I was talking about.
2) Pointing out the duplicity and dishonesty of the MSM isn't "circling the wagons".
You were doing that, pointing out the duplicity and dishonesty of the MSM? Where? Which post?
It's pointing out the truth. Deal with it.
What do you think I'm not "dealing with"?
3) Believing the duplicitous and dishonest drivel from the MSM, because it happens to confirm one's prejudices, is stupid.
What do you think my prejudices are, what has the article confirmed?
4) Finger pointing? The masters of finger-pointing are protestant.
I went back to that link you posted, to read the responses.
Ten posts in the Catholic church got its first mention, but "mainline Protestants" got higher billing in the response. Second mention was someone posting the belief that only the Catholic church will exist in a hundred years. Third mention was "cafeteria Catholics" & I think the poster was a Catholic. There were 68 responses & not one of them was along the line of "Catholics are worse". Instead, most posts were about the article, denouncing the people the article was about.
Looking at the responses in this thread, we find fingers pointed at school teachers & Protties. Took 28 posts before the first Catholic stepped in with a comment that I consider to be properly addressing the issue at hand.
Again:
Log. Eye.
Ditto!
Deal with it.
Again with a "deal with it". What's that all about? You saying I should deal with 100 kooks in another confession? They're ignoring their own church, so what makes you think there's anything that people who aren't in communion with them can do about them, beyond inviting good Christians to come out of that body if their church doesn't take appropriate action against that congregation?
