But now let’s turn the tables on that:
Are YOU supposing that because the priest is a sicko, that the child ALSO is denied salvation? Because that’s the inverse of the position you are suggesting makes you feel like throwing up.
Once again, and it really is tiring, looking for something which isn't there... But for shame bringing the child's innocence at bay here....again protecting the Priest for his dastardly act by diverting to the child as if he's indirectly to blame......and that's the "inverse" of the position you appear to be carrying.
How about the Church following Scriptural mandate, from the Bible that Catholics claim the RCC wrote, in 1 Corinthians 5 and purge the evil from within themselves.
And how about that's a REALLY, REALLY good reason why a person's salvation is not dependent on going through some other human being than Jesus Christ?
No. What makes me feel like throwing up over the situation is what I said, plain and simple. But perhaps that's why you're having trouble understanding it.
Like caww said, imagining where the priest put those same hands that are now lifting up the host in consecration.....
That's what's sickening, and no, I don't think God is going to damn a child because of a priest.
