I am mad at all the guys in charge of the church for their denial of abuse. Because of systemic secrecy this abuse was not brought out and the priests and nuns doing it were not ridden out on a rail. That's what should have been done.
In the Baptist church where I grew up a preacher had an affair with a widow woman. He wasn't ridden out on a rail either. What happened was the preacher and the widow got married and took a bunch of the members and started another church! That's why there are so many Baptist churches in small town communities.
You can see how this wouldn't work in the Catholic Church!
Right on, Charmaine. That is so wrong and I can't understand why anyone would still go to a Catholic church after what he's done (and still doing for all we know).
No wonder Martin Luther strated his own church. Thnk you Martin! To think that the Church (The devils playground) continues to hide these losers is not just criminal but illegal or should be. This could bring the church down.
I can accept that people would like to have someone taking care of them because it's a tough world; easier now probably than in ancient times but still tough. It's the religious professional's I don't like. It's like Walmart vs Kmart - they are all singing 'our version is better!' like a bunch of children only they start wars over it.
Like Charlene said, other churches aren't as monolithic so if a preacher goes off the rails it's his (or her) problem, not the church's. It's all that direct connection to God that gets the Pope in trouble.
Co-workers created my identity on a dating website. After pretending to be me they let me in on the secret. I was very shy but went with it.
They lined up outside my office every morning to hear the gory details of each hilariously disastrous date. I started this for them.

I'm Catholic; a convert.

I love religion!
Christmas, I get presents, and today I get chocoloate.
As my son would say, "What a country."
Yep, what you said.
"Well Mr. Smith, I've got good news and bad news..."
"What is it?"
"The bad news is that you're Catholic, the good news is that you've only got daughters."

They DO look evil, therefore, they probably are! I agree!
