Catholicism is the biggest joke ever, never has there been so much contradiction in a religion as this. For example, it is widely known that Christmas was used as a way of converting pagains as they celbrated a religous festival called Yule, and so adopting the idea of christmad meant more followers, it also known that jesus wasnot born in december because of this as it says in the bible sheppards were tending there flocks, this would not happen in a cold december month, i could go on and on.
@theleadinbrumie ok so what your saying is that sheep are seaonal? No there not sheperds in those days would have had to look after there flocks all year round whether cold or not!
@MrTons911 That is exactly what im saying lol you ask every single farmer and they would say they never have their sheep out in december, that is one example, the bible does not mention anything about celbrating the birth of chist only his death as his death paid for the sins of humanity. It also does not mention a single date to do with the 25th of decmber as his birthdate, this date was adopted by catholics so that pagons were able to convert to catholicism and still have their festival.
This piece of shit needs a bullet through his brain! Excuses known child molesting priests and refuses to even ask them to step down. That's because he's a cock sucker himself.
@justentime77: He can't ask them to step down, because they will probably not want to step down.. I mean if they say No, we really can't do anything... if we still had the Vatican prison open, then maybe we could do something, yet we don't ... tough luck!
@RockyBalboa211 Crimes were commited and he should have notified the proper authorities to have them prosecuted and thrown in prison. I don't care about "Vatican Prison". This idiot thinks he's above the law and can make those decisions? By choosing to sweep it under the rug shows he's as big of slimeball as they are and he belongs behind bars as well.
@justentime77 so why is it that a doctor cannot reveal any information to the police? how come a doctor should be aloud to get away with confidentialality?
if you were to do that to doctors every single one of them would be imprisoned.
so before you open your mouth about the Pope or the catholic church get your facts right and understand all sides of the story not only the one which the media puts out!
@MrTons911 If a doctor was a pedophile or had working knowledge of one he would have to report it to the police or be prosecuted himself. Try and condone and continue to praise the Pope's horrific behavior all you want, he's a scumbag....with or without the dunce cap.
@RockyBalboa211 Yeah, OR he could have had them arrested and thrown in prison where they belong....hmm. All about the 'Evil Empire' saving face. It's the millions of shallow morons like MrTons911 who are nothing more then enablers and also play a part in protecting these losers.
@justentime77 you are ridiculous! why do you lower yourself to that level and just let rubbish fallout of your mouth? if you think child abuse is wrong and killing a person isnt then you are really stupid!
what a frightening world we live, the pope is a pedo administrator, sending priests to other parishes to abuse more kids and an iranian cleric blaming promiscuous woman for earthquakes !!.. ffs...WAKE UP fellow humans and rid this world of this vile and backwards thinking mindwash...stop supporting these institutions.. Peace
when will the brain washed people of the catholic church realize their church is run by a bunch of perverts that have caused untold horrors on its congreation for at least decades.what part of the churches bingo money being used to pay off little boys parents is it the catholics fail to understand???i can see why the ancients wrote this pope would be the last!!!damn the catholic church to hell quit supporting their abuse of mankind see them for the perverts they obviously are.close the pope down
gaz he cant understand what youre saying, he's just convinced he's right so he's typing bad language and trying to pretend that he older than the ten year old that he is.
chris7esty, what you said was the same words Judas said to our Lord. Judas complained when Mary Magdalene anointed our Lord's feet with an expensive perfume, taking offense at her extravagant devotion Judas said: "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages" (John 12:1-8)
i think we should respect the Pope and other people who follow Jesus Christ. I think we should not say bad things about there beliefs because we each have our owm beliefs too.
Jesus and the apostles never celebrated Christmas. At that time its was only pagans who decked the halls with bows of holy and sang the YULE tide carol. I guarantee you can not find anything in the Bible or any historical record to prove this statement false.
Only Jesus is known as the Son of God!! Christ be with us! God bless the Pope!!! And for all those with nothing good to say, 1 in every 6 people you will meet are Catholics (2 in every 6 believe in Jesus Christ; are Christians) so do not try to bully us.
excuse me aaron, who the fuck do you think you are? the fact that people have not challenged you directly lead to the pedophelia that ran rampid in your DAMNED church.
as an american i'm taught to ALWAYS question authority. it doesn't stop at our boarders or at some crazy religion.
if you believe truth will win out aaron, then just wait, you will be totally surprised to find you're not part of it, but of supression, hate, ignorance & fear. so much for catholicism you fucking idiot!
Paedophiles come from all walks of life and operate in many ways. It's sad that there have been so many inside the Catholic Church, however, it should be remembered that it is one of the world's largest institutions. It's bound to have a few undesirables in there. To say that this is because people haven't challenged the Church is unfair, in comparison to the vast number of clergy workers worldwide, only a small few have ever been proven paedophiles! Why penalise the whole church?
you couldn't be more wrong. when people start challenging that church & they have to really practice vows they've taken, then watch them turn their bull around to listen to the peoplem & not bible. money speaks gazo1, yes, even with the pope & his minions.
i have direct experinece with a child trying to tell his parents & the church of what he had to endured. no one was willing to take on the church, that is until lawyers with money in their eyes & a courageous newspaper followed the story!
You can't possibly be suggesting that the little boy's abuse was endorsed by the Pope! I don't dispute that this may have happened, but, I don't hear people slating teachers off for the paedophiles discovered in schools or nurseries. You need to remember that these people are individuals working for an institution, not all of their actions can be blamed on the people they work for. The fact that the parents did nothing after the child tried telling them says more of them, than of the church!
bernard law fully KNEW what was gong on, as did other "princes" of the church. he purposfully CHOSE to ignore the terrible plight of those children to protect the church!
popes WERE aware of what was happening (including this one, which in american law, buddy, makes him compicit) by osmosis, gossip & fact!
you make me cringe you stupid fuck! parents were as afraid as their children to EVER question that powerful church.
you don't know the facts, so shut the fuck up, you ignorant idiot!
It may make him an accomplice if he knew of it. Hearsay isn't conclusive evidence! As I've said, no one is denying that it has happened, what I am saying (Now read this carefully as you are having some trouble understanding this!) The church doesn't endorse paedophilia. The real issue is with the people who did nothing! Don't come out with Americans are taught to question authority, when it is clearly Americans who allowed this to happen to a poor boy: because they didn't want to question it?
again, now read this carefully, you're an ignorant bullshit artist when it comes to the catholic church. you're no authority on it's inner workings. so again, shut the fuck up!
the church is the people who run it. don't for one goddamned second think it's run by a higher authority like god. it's run by old men with the same limitations, prejudices, desires,ignorances & needs as you & i. they fuck-up then lie to protect themselves, you idiot!
'The church is the people who run it.' - individuals who work FOR the church (it's an institution therefore that is the the correct terminology) do not RUN it. I didn't 'for one goddamned second' say that it was run by a higher authority!
What would be your solution to the problem of the few paedophiles found in the church? Abolish the whole church? I'll make my previous point again: Paedophiles come from all walks of life. Institutions for which they work aren't responsible for their actions!
Man I get so sick of just wanting to watch a clip of something and invariably the comments have to include the foulest language, and the most vile assertions on everything not just the Holy Church!
Cant we all just lighten up a little bit?? Maybe just maybe the world would be a better place if this rancour was eased up on a bit.
If as an 'american' your are taught to question authority, rather interesting how Bush lasted as long as he did considering his antics in Iraq! If all 'americans' had questioned his real motives for invading, he may not have been re-elected, then perhaps the lives of many may have been saved! 'you fucking idiot!' In your previous post you mentioned about the church not helping the poor, that's exactly what it does, religion is there for people to turn to, whether you like it or not, people do!
i questioned bush from the moment he stold the 00 elections buddy, so watch where you lay blame. many of us question that bastard, just as we "recovered catholics" questioned that bastard church! most of us go unheard until something catastrophic comes about to rid this world of their filth. and yes bub, the church if chock full of filth, whether you want to believe it or not. i've had first hand knoweledge in a number of ways & no i was not a religious of any sort.
Yet again, you've missed the point. You said that as an 'american' you are always taught to question authority. Only Americans vote in America, if everyone questioned authority, Bush wouldn't have been re-elected. I can't put that in simpler terms, please try and read it properly before typing obscenities aimed at a point not even refered to (I speak of the foul language you resort to when faced with a point you can't construct an argument against.)
oh,i see since americans vote only in america, when a church residing in this country does something wrong, because they're home based in another country, they cannot be questioned, brought to justice and punished by americans. that's the most idiotic statement yet on youtube!
please you know nothing of what you speak. you are nothing but a pure amature and ignorant not only of the roman church, but of american law.
you sir or madam are over your head...again, shut the fuck up!
You've missed the point again. Are you actually stupid? My reference was to your statement on Americans questioning authority: IF ALL AMERICANS QUESTIONED AUTHORITY (as they were apparently raised to do) WHY WAS EVERYONE TOO SCARED TO CHALLENGE THE CHURCH? - the reference to voting also makes that point, I said only Americans vote in America, no other nationality, therefore it is Americans who put Bush in the Whitehouse.
Your disgusting language is unnecessary and makes you look worse.
gaz he cant understand what youre saying, he's just convinced he's right so he's typing bad language and trying to pretend that he older than the ten year old that he is.
There is a big difference between mere identification with a group, and genuine faith in God. Most of that 1 billion only nominally identify as Catholic; that does not mean that they believe in anything!
The Administrators of Religion have failed miserably to spread the Gospel - as demonstrated by the abyssmal lack of faith.
AND by their greed, lust, and satanic desire for power & global hegemony. Neither Ratzinger nor his minions know God.
but poison the gesture would be far more effective than the millions they collect at the musueums.
to make a correction to your statement, most of the money collected goes to keeping the vatican & it's costly tributaries in tact, NOT to help the poor. but i guess like most catholics, either you have blind faith that they are doing good, or you're just plain stupid!
none the less the gold & art that's never on display could be sold & the profits put into an endowment & used to help the poor!
@wntoply6 im sorry but the "gesture" would not be more effective. a complete sale of the vatican could feed the poor for how long? a year? lets say 10 years (impossible), even then, the donation will fade away like all the other great donations of the past. money never lasts.
but the catholic church will continue to survive, and gold or not, will continue to help the poor for generations. would you trade a vehicle of social good for a one time fee? if you would, perhaps you are the stupid one.
@PoisontheHoney wow, that was 2 yrs ago...however the gold, art & jewels do not rake in the money needed to feed the poor. the pittance people may give to see the art is nothing. most of the money that helps the poor is reaped from the peter's pence yearly fund.
again, & to your utter ignorance, if the art in the vatican was sold & put into an endowment, READ ENDOWMENT, the interest would be more than enough to feed the poor...much more than it now does.
Go and research that period in history properly and you will see why! Whoever coined the phrase: 'ignorance is bliss' has obviously never encountered anyone like you.
Yeah, so what. He was a child back then and he never killed anybody. Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazis and he ended up saving many Jews from being killed. Now he is looked upon as good person.
Interesting-all the catholic pedophile priests-and they make "blessings"??? I do believe the pedophile lawsuits is reaching close to a billion dollars.
Maybe he only followed the route he did as a result of the turmoil and aggression in his life? God challenges us all the time, it's what makes us what we are; the good people face the challenges and don't succumb to temptation, the bad fall to Lucifer. - But, all of this is irrelevant to your point, I'm sure at that young age Benedict didn't know that he was going to become Pope - as far as he and his family were concerned; to submit a refusal would be as good as signing a death warrant to them.

Yeah, so what. He was a child back then and he never killed anybody. Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazis and he ended up saving many Jews from being killed. Now he is looked upon as good person.

I would like to see you object if it was your's and your family's life in danger by submitting a refusal!

You would think God would have protected his family - I mean he was going to be the Pope right?

Maybe he only followed the route he did as a result of the turmoil and aggression in his life? God challenges us all the time, it's what makes us what we are; the good people face the challenges and don't succumb to temptation, the bad fall to Lucifer. - But, all of this is irrelevant to your point, I'm sure at that young age Benedict didn't know that he was going to become Pope - as far as he and his family were concerned; to submit a refusal would be as good as signing a death warrant to them.
