I am not suprised Catholics rape children all the time and they don't turn in the priests for their crimes they protect them but they will fire a priest if he has sex with a full grown consinting woman. They are mentally fucked up in the head.

If religion was not involved this shit would be stopped for good...However, when you can hide behind Bronze Age Myths you can do what you want...If it is trying to control women in America, openly hate others & deny them rights, to child molestation be priest, and now full blown rape and beatings...Praise Jesus!

They say they have a "long way to go" before they deal with the abuse. If they really meant it they would turn in all the people who committed the crimes against these children.

The fact is, they just want to fill their coffers. They're a business. A criminal syndicate. It's about time people learned to accept that and treat them as such.

Jesus said "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are."

Matt 23:15

Jesus' character is evident in the bible. He has promises to those abusers of childr

"And if anyone causes one of these little ones [children] who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck."

Mk 9:42

Satan is waiting.

Just one more reason why I left the horrific Cult of Catholicism.

[monkmonk40]

Eve gave Adam the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

One of the ironies of a cult based on this myth is their lack of distinction of the two.

For the sake of the Roman Catholic Church Adam should have eaten more fruit.

Religion = Duplicity: Can now have our minds back?

Just put an end to ALL organised religion. Like the man said, people must learn to stand on their own feet. So we've learnt we cannot rely on our financial advisers, nor our religious ones. Boycott the church and, please let us do it soon..

[woodsmin1955]

Well said odalrich , the Church is the biggest fraud in the history of mankind.

Inquisition, persecutions, mass assassination, Magdalene laundries, child abuse and rape, what next? the Roman Catholic Church is a criminal organization since the very first day it became the official religion of the Roman empire. It's about time the law gets these criminals in the right place! Why aren't these pedophiles brought to justice in Ireland and elsewhere?if secular pedophiles are sent to prison why not the Church's? is the Church above the law? Damn no!
