Re: Things we share in common

The John Jay Report states that 4% of all US American Priests since 1950 have been accused of sexual abuse. That's 1 out of every 25 priests.

Considering this happened in God's favorite country, I can't even begin to imaging the number of sexual abuse commited by paedophile homerpriests in the rest of the world. That's just horrifying and GROSS!

Re: Things we share in common

There is no evidence that homosexuality and paedophilia are more prevalent in catholicism than in other churches. There have been more incidents of other churchmen, including baptists, being involved in these activities. How about this sodomite?

So please do not tar all with one brush! If the report says 4% of priests have been involved in the abuse, please remember that this means 96% are not (the vast VAST majority).

The 4% is only the number of priests who have been accused of sexual abuse. The number of actual cases is unknown because the abuse has been covered up over the years. For a religion that requires celibacy amongst it's priests, the prevalence of unchecked sexual urges, resulting in abuse and homosexuality, is bound to occur. Has a study ever been done to investigate whether cases of pedophilia are more common in Catholic churches than non-catholic churches? Can you find a single case of sexual abuse in a True Christian™ church, I think not.

The population of Dresden during WWII was 625,000. 25,000 were killed through the allied firebombing campaign or 4% of the population.

You had an equal chance of dying in that conflict as being molested by a catholic priest in the USA.

What of the catlick church's refusal to follow the Word of God concerning marriage? What of Paul's prophecy which came to pass in the catholic church?

Technically, pedophilia is just as common in the Catholic priesthood as it is in the general public. But the rape of post pubescent minors is three times as high.

Any percentage greater than 0% should not be tolerated. The Bible is very specific on this. If your 'priests' actually followed the Bible, they (and you) would know this.
Any man of the cloth is to be held to a higher level of responsibility than a parishioner. A Church elder is to be a man that can be trusted without question.
Son, there is no excuse, there is no forgiveness for supporting these homo-pedophiles.

How many Baptist pastors can you find who, if found to be sodomites diddling little boys, have had their crimes hushed up as they've been moved from church to church where they could continue to destroy even more young lives?
One thing you papists continue to conveniently overlook is that the outrage isn't just about "priests" who are taking advantage of their authority within your "church" to bugger children. It's also about the vast conspiracy of silence and the continued opportunities provided to those "priests" to bugger children who would otherwise have remained blissfully unsodomized had these "priests" been turned into the proper authorities in the first place.

I do not know of any such studies, but your church is baptist and I earlier posted a link to the case of a baptist sodomite. You must also remember that the catholic church is the biggest of any christian denominations so there may be more rogues in their ranks numerically, but not necessarily proportionately.

St. Paul clearly teaches in I Corinthians 7:7–8 that chastity is a superior state, and Matthew 19 tells of many men who renounce marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Our priests follow the examples of Christ and His apostles, none of whom were married.

Hi James, we catholics have not tolerated anything and instances of abuse are dealt with properly and effeciently and are reported to the police. Where this has not been done in the past, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has apologized and has put in place new rules to prevent this happening again.

Hi sister Mary, I don't think the church has been responsible for hushing anything up. There is no conspiracy of silence, and His Holiness Pope Benedict has strongly reprimanded those who did not take the appropriate action against the molesters.

Have any data to back that up?

May we also remind you, that as independent Baptists, we do not claim authority with any other church but our own. We are not linked with other churches who use the name Baptist, no have any power or anything to do with them. The Catholic Church, however, is all linked and controlled by a central governing body, so what happens in one branch can rightly be blamed on the general "church" body.

St. Paul clearly teaches in I Corinthians 7:7–8 that chastity is a superior state, and Matthew 19 tells of many men who renounce marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Our priests follow the examples of Christ and His apostles, none of whom were married.

None of the apostles were married now, were they?

Mark 1: 29As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.

How could Simon Peter have a mother-in-law if he wasn't married? Also, on what basis do you reasonably claim the rest of the Apostles weren't married?

Paul may have held chastity as a superior state, but he did not agree with forbidding it, not even for Bishops:

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a red hot iron; Forbidding to marry ...."
(I Timothy 4:1-2).


"This is a TRUE saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife . . . one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection"
(I Timothy 3:1-4).

Hi James, we catholics have not tolerated anything and instances of abuse are dealt with properly and effeciently and are reported to the police. Where this has not been done in the past, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has apologized and has put in place new rules to prevent this happening again.

Yeah, once the word got public, the church cracked down to improve their public image. How righteous of them

Hi sister Mary, I don't think the church has been responsible for hushing anything up. There is no conspiracy of silence, and His Holiness Pope Benedict has strongly reprimanded those who did not take the appropriate action against the molesters.

Did Mr Ratzinger also reprimand himself?

Re: Things we share in common

Hey there friend,

The problem of paedophilia in the church has been most unfortunate but I would stress that only a tiny minority of priests have ever been involved in sexual abuse. I see also my friend that Pope Benedict is the 'Kiddie-Fiddler of Vatican City'. Sir I must stress to you that this is a totally inaccurate attack, the holy father is never been involved in that and has always acted quickly and consistently to deal with abusers in the strongest possible way.

Right. The strongest possible way being...what exactly? Did you mean to type "the strongest possible way, except for telling the police, or even punishing them in any way at all?"

T
So please do not tar all with one brush! If the report says 4% of priests have been involved in the abuse, please remember that this means 96% are not (the vast VAST majority).

Great. So the other 96% aren't perverts, they just help cover it up. That's so much better.

St. Paul clearly teaches in I Corinthians 7:7–8 that chastity is a superior state, and Matthew 19 tells of many men who renounce marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Our priests follow the examples of Christ and His apostles, none of whom were married.

Lies!
1 Corinthians 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach

OK, bro, time out and calm down! Maybe have some brandy or something. You seem like a very angry man.

Well, that certainly is unreasonable of him. I definitely can't think of any reason why anyone would get even slightly worked up over a petty little thing like systematic child abuse.

Hi James, we catholics have not tolerated anything and instances of abuse are dealt with properly and effeciently and are reported to the police.

Right. That's why all these cases were dealt with decades ago, as soon as anyone found out about them. Oh, wait...

Well to be fair, most of the time the promotions pedophile priests earn for covering up their ill-deeds lands them in cushy office atmospheres where there aren't any young boys to play with, which for them is a form of punishment.

Re: Things we share in common

The 96% of the Priests that haven't been caught yet will go to the same Hell as the 4% who have.

Is there a sex offender living on every block of the United States of America? No. But in the Catholic Priesthood there is.
