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).

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!

only a tiny minority of priests have ever been involved in sexual abuse.

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. There is so much misunderstanding about what the church stands for and what it does and does not tolerate.

You say this like the pedophilia outbreak in the Catholic Church is some recent thing and not some ongoing catastrophe that's been building up to a boiling point for probably Centuries at this time. The Catholic Church could tomorrow change their entire dogma and doctrine and everything they believe in to just: "The goal of the Catholic Church is to make sure that every 13 year old boy on the entire globe has a rectum more stretched out than the skin on Kirstie Alley's thighs after eating a wheelbarrow full of Rocky Road ice cream" and no one would believe you that they just changed it. The overwhelming consensus among regular folk would be "I thought that's what they always believed in."

You're right about the Pope being consistent on pedophile Priests though, it seems like if you're a priest and you diddle a child and get caught you end up with a better job. At this point it seems like fondling a 12 year old boy's nut sack isn't so much a tragic misuse of power by an authority figure as much as it is a resume builder.

Small Catholic Church in Irish country side seeks Priest to lead flock.

Requirements:
Ph.D. in religion.
Preferred 3-5 years of experience leading a moderately-sized Catholic Church
MUST have 3-4 years of nutsack fondling experience
Experience covering up nutsack fondling preferred but not required.

Pay is DOE

Homosexuality and child predatory practices are endemic within the catholic church. It has been quietly swept under the rug for years.

This is precisely what happens when you refuse to follow the Word of God.

1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Later Paul specifically warns against heresy like yours.

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Wouldn't it be easier to read the Bible, instead of studying the writings of a bunch of dress-wearing pedophiles over God's Word?

Hi there guys,
There is a lot of misunderstanding I fear about what catholics believe.
Anyway, I hope to hang around and maybe we can have a useful and beneficial conversation between us about the various matters of faith.
I am a phd student in matters of divinity in England.

How is the Salvation threw Works verse the Salvation threw grace a "misunderstanding"? This has been an issue since the Reformation when we REAL Christians left the Roman neo-pagans behind. Do you claim to be a Catholic and reject penance and confession?

Re: Things we share in common

Although there are many differences between the baptists and the catholics, let us not forget that we share many things in common. We share much more than that which divides us.

Take for example the following:

1. Belief in trinity
2. Belief in deity of Jesus Christ
3. Belief in healings and miracles in name of Jesus Christ
4. Man is born in sin and needs to be free from sin
5. The only route to salvation in through Jesus Christ
6. Belief in eternal heaven for those who repentant and are baptized
7. Belief in eternal hell and damnation

So friends, is there not more that unites us than divides us?

Anyone can make a list of common items, it does mean we are the same. You have been tricked by the cathiets you are following god.

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Catholics believe in the false doctrine of Salvation Threw Works. In other words Catholics like feel your own petty, selfish egos can thwart the Will of God. Catholics have basically reduced God Almighty to a pathetic, blubbering fool that needs permission from His mommy.

If you listen carefully you can hear Jesus vomiting

REAL Christians (as in Baptist Republicans) believe in Salvation threw Grace. That threw His son and co-deity Christ, God loves us His Chosen Elect and our Salvation is guaranteed from the creation of the world 6,000 years ago. No intervention with men in funny robes is required. It is just one man, one Savior, one salvation. GLORY!

Take for example the following:

1. Belief in trinity

No. We believe in the Trinity; you believe in a veritable pantheon of Saints, Infallible Popes, Fathers who art not in Heaven, and Blessed Virgins. There may be figures called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit hidden away in there somewhere, but they're hardly the centre of attention.

5. The only route to salvation in through Jesus Christ

No, we believe that the only route to Salvation is through Jesus Christ, you believe in a route to salvation that starts off in a confession booth, then goes directly to Mary, with the possibility of a brief stop-off in Jesus Christ's vicinity if you're not too busy.

6. Belief in eternal heaven for those who repentant and are baptized

Do you think that repentance and baptism are connected? If so, then what's the point of baptizing babies? Do you genuinely believe that those babies you sprinkle have actually repented of anything?

So friends, is there not more that unites us than divides us?

Considering that we're Saved Christians and you follow a confused pagan sect that will lead you straight to Hell, I'm gonna have to answer "no" there.

You admit to being Catlick? Then tell me, as I have always wanted to know, why do Catlickers wear dresses, worship false idols, and rape little boys?
