It is obvious that you both are Catholic haters as well as ignorant.

The POPE is infallible when speaking on issues of faith and morals. The Latin mass, Celibacy, and many other Church traditions ARE NOT faith and morals. They are simply traditions, important traditions, but not unchangeable. Abortion & Homosexual Acts/Gay Marriage are actually settled moral law in the Church they are unchangeable.

The Latin Mass was NEVER entirely in Latin. The Liturgy was always in the language of the locals. The Eucharist had been in Latin until after Vatican II. Since Vatican II it has been the custom to have the entire Mass in the local language.

For someone who claims to not be a hater you sure have a great deal of vitriol for an organization that doesn’t require your participation.

Perhaps you should educate yourself and avoid further outing as ignorant in your knowledge of the Church that you hate.

Too bad this wasn’t Massachusetts, where such molestations are legal (therefore, promotable), then the homosexual priest would have been lionized by Kevin Jennings.

The reality of this world does not hold up to your biased accusations. I have been married into a LIBERAL Catholic family for 30 + years. Observing the hair splicing when it comes to commands God Himself gave is definitely of this world. You have NO grounds to call me a Catholic hater. Liberals when they have no standing do the same thing, make baseless accusations.

Your Liberal Catholic wife's family is part of the Churches biggest problem. I have plenty of those losers and heretics in my family as well. Many probably voted for Obama and use artificial birth control along with favoring Homosexual Marriage many are OK with abortion, as long as they can keep it quiet.

Lots of ‘Liberal” Catholics do. What they really are is Fallen Catholic Heretics who have excommunicated themselves from the Church and are in extreme need of instruction and repentance. They most of all will be burdened with eternal damnation as they where instructed and did not heed the Word. For a non hater you and GeronL sure put up a good front!

It has nothing to do with marriage

In the Catholic Church the marriage act is viewed as a celebration of the sacrament of marriage that can result in new life which is good

What this perv is doing with this teen is simply depraved physical lust and it is evil, no celebration of a sacrament or creating life or living in a holy estate here.

What a treat! I have been called many things, but nothing remotely like Clinton. This shows the potential for misunderstandings latent in all internet communication.

I'm Catholic, but none exceed me in my loathing for these lecherous priests who had better had a millstone tied around their necks. In fact, only one who loves the Catholic faith as I do can fully comprehend the atrocity of a man designated by God to shepherd, but then taking off the suit and revealing the true wolf underneath.

The crime is technically underage rape, but the cause is homosexuality, which is sexual attraction to those who have reached the age of puberty. In other words, seeing that 85% of all these lecherous priests have perpetrated abominations on post-pubescent boys, we can see that the problem of the sexual scandal in the Catholic Church is one of homosexuality. And this the liberals, whether Catholic or not, are unwilling to accept.

My own personal experience mirrors what I find generally, the deeds versus the claims said to be of Catholic doctrine. Oh, I am a mom of three, and I could write a book about what was acceptable behavior of my Catholic in-laws yet my children and I were considered insiders. Were it not for their 'blood' connection they and I would have been treated in sameness as the rest of the protestants.

Two of my siblings as well married into Catholic families. The sum total of our experiences always gets down to the bottom line of to be Christian one 'we' are required to forgive no matter the infraction. Because IF one was offended or harmed there was always (I do mean this without exception) a plausible deniable excuse for the harm. Rather like old bjClinton telling that woman to put some ice on her bloodied lip. Or like the Adam telling God that it was that woman God gave him that made him join the garden party.

It took me some years to finally realize the difference in my soul and this pattern of using plausible deniability to excuse offensive actions. I know I mess up and some days more than others, however, I do not spend one second rationalizing how I can blame somebody else for my own short comings.

I do not know the 'political' leanings of one of these extended relatives, but the rest in total are liberal democrats. Some attempt to present these people as once or twice a year church goers. Well, that is simply not the case. A few do only attend church for weddings and funerals, but, the rest spend the majority of their waking life involved in some sort of church activity.

Personally due to my life experiences, I have reached the point that I am far more concerned what God has recorded about me and my life. Jesus saying to 'remember Lot's wife' still holds to this day.

Sorry I just reread my comments and I used the word ‘insiders’, wherein the correct word is ‘outsiders’.

We’ll be seeing this happen in the BSA more often.

While undeniably true, your post offers no excuse for Craig’s List at all.

Of course I did not post an excuse for the Craigslist sex ads!

Do you think I can walk on water?
