“I Was Raised Catholic but Wicked Bishops Have Driven Me Away from the Church”

Doesn’t understand, never understood the Holy Eucharist. Like many here.

She also kids herself, like many here, if she thinks the percentage of priests who abused young people, about 4%, is any lower in other Christian churches.

Pedophilia denotes the abuse of very young children of both sexes. The Catholic Church problem was 79% priests and males between 11-16. This is homosexual predation, not pedophilia. Many here play the media’s game of saying it’s pedophilia which distracts away from the fact that homosexuality was the predominant problem among abusive priests.

I’ve known SO MANY holy priests. Probably leading more chaste lives than many condemning them here. How absurd the tunnel vision that most priests are child molesters. Media brainwashing.

Jesus doesn’t live in a wheat wafer.

Making an object and calling it your god is idolatry, and breaks the Second Commandment.

Exodus 20:4-6 You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

And from Young’s Literal Translation

Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth. Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me, and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
