janet928 - so you wouldn't call Catholics Christians, eh? It's a very hateful and ignorant comment. How self-righteous! Just because some Catholics don't live up to the high ideals, doesn't give you the right to put all of them down. Are you in a position to cast the first stone? Really?

Would not call them Christians? Shows how little you know about Christianity or history.

about teachers hitting children, I read that usually male teachers hit boys because the were gay. Since being gay was a crime, they hit boys because they couldn't have sex with them.

@GG2873 I am not Catholic. I am Protestant and attend an all-Black church. This too is our heritage from slavery days, and we still tend to stick together regarding religion. There aren't too many Black Catholics in the United States.

[GG2873]

perhaps your Country is different from Italy. Here the Vatican really rules the Country, but Faith is something else. How is being Black and Catholic? I read Black Catholics are scorned for following the Whites' religion. Is it true?

@GG2873 Years ago Catholic nuns (I am told) could be horribly abusive. Corporal punishment was accepted by all races, most religions. Only recently has whipping been limited or abolished in schools and homes in the civilized world. My parents believed in the rod; in our Black community this practice was common. It goes back to slavery, our heritage. Hitting is wrong. I have never waivered in my stance on that, and welcome the banning of corporal punishment.

@GG2873 "Spinster" is derogatory. Few unmarried women fit the stereotype of abusive because they lack husbands. I know many women who choose singleness, or simply wait for the right life-partner (not always male). Males have bullied women for centuries demanding they marry or be ridiculed. Male Egos did that. It was disrespectful and unhealthy.

I am an American Black man from the 1940s. I forever cherish those sweet, dedicated unmarried teachers who made learning fun.

I don't understand the pool scene

[GG2873]

in Italy lay schoolteachers hit children in school nuns never did spinster teachers are famous for that because they are unmarried they hate other women who have got a husband and they hit their children to overcome sexual frustration I hate women teachers they made me suffer hell on earth for eight years

@Iamthegreatification No, I really don't think the CC is perfect, no more than anyone organisation in the world, religious or otherwise. I'm simply pointing out that the CC has done alot of good aswell as bad, and I find it to be quite boorish and sensationalist to subscribe to this whole notion of "It's the Catholic church, they're evil, child abusing perverts, the lot of them". I myself am not a member of the CC, I'm simply trying to speak from rationalist point of view.

@purplemoosemoose You seem to think that the Catholic church are perfect. Watch 2 Irish movies 'The Magdalene Sisters' and 'Song for a Raggy Boy', they are based on factual events about the abuse and rape of Irish children that were put into the care of the CC. Then come back and tell me the CC aren't so bad.

My partners father was sexually abused by NUNS in the care of the CC in Dublin, and beating to a pulp on a regular basis.
