The Church needs to get this serious about this issue once again.
Harsh punishment can prevent a lot of wrongdoing too.
We have Christ's promise it will
Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mat 16:17-18
We need to do something, all the PC programs in the world aren’t going to work until there is real justice against the perpetrator.
All that happens now is the priest is laicized and the church gets sued.
And I forgot, NO MORE HOMOSEXUALS, PERIOD. They have proven that they can’t be celibate, it has been tried and failed. They give them plenty of psychological tests and they know.
Sodom is a good example of how God dealt with sex offenders.
Theres no point in trying to get them fluffed, Drain, or quartered. Or any of the churchs infamous inquisitions tortures. Imho, it will be a Miracle if the current church hierchy merely removes the serious offenders from clerical and other parishioner- contact assignments. Like Cardinal Donald
The Orange used to say so eloquently, Youre FIRED!
All this discussion appears to be not acknowledging that in 1960, at so called Vatican II, it was made completely against church doctrine to turn in a pedagogue or rapist priest or face immediate ex-communication and be thrown out of the church penniless. This came as an order from the pope and is still their scummy law. This is why even good priests fear doing what should be done. What this means is that the Catholic Church has fallen into deep evil.
Do you have a source for this?
Id never heard that. If accurate. Its terrible. ( if you happen to have a source please kindly share it). Thanks!
“...turn in a pedagogue or rapist...”
A “pedagogue” is a teacher.
Perhaps you meant “pedophile” or “pederast?”
Ahhh, old school-just like me. I vote for impalement in Death Valley...
The Catholic Church
Is VERY far from Christ Jesus
VERY far
This horrible scandal has very badly.
We've been working our way through the Prophets over the last 2 months or so in the daily readings. Israel was God's possession, chosen by Him and favored by Him in a sacred covenant relationship. Yet Israel so often ignored the Prophets and betrayed God's law, and had to be chastised for her infidelity.
This is so much like the Church, the Bride of Christ, whose leaders (and, truthfully, lay members) so often ignore or oppose what God desires for His own people.
The consequences are usually spectacular collapse. Followed by repentance and restoration.
This ha happened before, repeatedly, over the Church's 2,000 year history. It'll be painful. It won't be pretty. But Lord have mercy, it's coming.
Correction :It has hurt them as well.
Amen and second it.
We all need to repent.
Thank you for your response yesterday. Will adopt this hashtag.
