Do Catholics have their own Sharia courts too?
Friends, I must confess I'm not super knowledgeable about Papism, but the last paragraph of the following story caught my eye:
San Francisco Archbishop-elect brings shame upon those who support and defend traditional marriage http://cdn1.lgbtqnation.netdna-cdn.c...Cordileone.jpg Quote:
Excuse me? A canon lawyer? Just when and where does a canon lawyer get to ply his trade? Is this why so many pedophile priests get off scott free? Because they're being tried in Catholic courts instead of real ones? :angry: I don't trust secular agencies to do much of anything right, but if the alternative is to have guys like this tried by juries of their pedo-peers, I just hope and pray that they'll find themselves standing trial in tough secular courts where justice will be poured all over them like hot lava!

Ah, thank you for clarifying this, Mary. The more I learn, the more disgusted I feel.
As to this Bishop's drunken escapades, this just goes to show you what happens when you entrust the defense of marriage to a Catholic. A San Francisco Catholic, no less! :thumbdown: |

To answer your question, yes the Catholics have their own version of Sharia court were they put Catholics on "trial" for breaking the rules or squabble over divorces. The Inquisition is still on going too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesi...atholic_Church The father of a friend of mine was brought before one for "heresy" and excommunicated. Ironically the Ring Kissers were right because he had become an Atheist. One of my cousins had his marriage annulled by one. Way more than you want to know about it from the Catholics http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04447a.htm |

The only difference, Brother FM, is that the present-day Catholic courts are specifically about cult matters, whether they follow dogma. Sharia courts are intended to take the place of civil law courts, prescribing Queeran-based punishments for criminal acts.
So, at the present time, the Catholic cult does not have Sharia courts. But they did in the past, at the height of the Holy Roman Empire, one of the longest-lasting and most advanced theocracies in human history, before the Great Awakening currently underway here in the Godly USA. |

Advanced, you say? If we're talking about Catholicism, I'm going to assume you mean "advanced" as in "advanced stages of cancer."

Nothing comparable to the US, but we are not yet successful in achieving the Founders' dream of a True Christian™ Theocracy. |
