Yea, that worked out great for the people, right?GAG!!! That is just so revolting. It ought to make adifference. God didn't tolerate it from His priests in Israel. Those passages have already been posted.God doesn't tolerate it from Catholics either....however, the people have no way of knowing the condition of the priests soul.
No it didn't
The people didn't know of the depravity of certain Priests, but the superiors of the Priests did.
The bosses of the priests kept moving them around and they continued their perversion of having sex with innocent little children
God, therefore, administers the sacrament to the recipient who is worthy to recieve it, and deals with the priest on His own time......how else could it possibly work????God will NOT administer a sacrament that is tainted by the sinful hands of a priest who continued to use those hands to abuse young trusting children.
No matrter how pius and official the sinful priest looks with his fancy robes God will not allow those hands to touch the communion cracker, as you believe it IS the actual body of Jesus.
I think it has been explained on this thread how else it can work.
Hint, the Priests could have been fired unstead of shuffled around the country where they CONTINUED TO PREY ON YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE MOST DESPICABLE WAYS!
Fired and disiplined and turned over to the authorities for procecution. Unstead of waiting for sometimes decades for the victims to complain.
As an aside to readers that see that I keep posting these rebuttals to other posters:
I will continue to do it as long as Catholics make excuses for the perversions their denomination has allowed to happen.
Or skirt the issue with inane compaisons to boy scouts, etc.
sure He will, it certainly is not the fault of the recipient that the minister is tainted....The sacrament is of Gods doing, the priest merely administers it, if you are baptized by a bad priest, you are baptized, if he hears your confession and administers the sacrament of reconciliation, you are forgiven your sins, if he marries you, you are married...He may be in trouble with God....you are not
