Boston's in a total uproar over the sex scandals and deeply divided over whether Cardinal Law should resign, now I hear on the news that a German Bishop resigned after being accused of assaulting some woman during the course of an exorcism.


Man, I think back to all the years of having to go to confession and getting the smackdown for
usuing BC instead of just abstaining and now it seems a goodly % of these guys were having more sex than the people they were sitting in judgement of !:Q

Nope, they are all off starring in the new hollywood epic "Booty and The Priest - abstinence makes the church grow fondlers"
 
One priest in michigan had a 17 year old drop his pants after confessing masturbation, i believe. The kid knew something was wrong when the priest grabbed his butt. The priest's excuse: he was attempting to "cleanse" the boy. Personally, when i was 17, the only people i would have dropped my pants for were 17 year old girls 😉

gasp !!!! lol, it's funny and sad at the same time. Feel pretty foolish for having bought into the whole thing for so long, but I suppose I'm not alone in that outlook these days.😱

Just for the record, I don't think the priest is judging the confessor. Only God can judge.

LMAO

Well now, as mediators to God, I think they simply enforce and facilitate. Plus, think about what this does to the many priests who are good men, who have faith and lead their congregations and communities.

The hypocrisy is what made many people turn away from RC during the beginning of the last century, so you're not alone in this sentiment. Still, let's evaluate the situation before we make some final conclusion.

enjoy some ice cream. 🙂


Cheers ! 🙂

Linuxboy, I have no doubt that there are some good people in the church, watching the flooring crumble under one of the most cherished tenants of the faith however is alternatvely validating,
and infuriating.The sheer numbers of good people coming forward with their stories is also sad and shocking !


 
Yeah baff, I know. That's what makes this whole situation saddening. I was just trying to look at it from the other side and not get too carried away with some unilateral and limited view.

I still say go have some ice cream. 🙂

Cheers ! 🙂
 
Well, a Judge has just ordered Law to comply with a deposition about all of this !!! Yeah !
 
I'm so upset I decided to disregard my catholic religion some years ago

There may be enough "fallen" priests that they can spend most of the rest of their lives taking confession from each other, instead of laying out all their hypocritical guilt trips on others. Maybe they could start a support/help group and call it Vatican Boys Anonymous. :Q

Oooh! The truth can be hysterically funny! 😀 😀 😀

lol, Harvey !! good to see you, we've missed you around here lately ! 🙂
 
I would use the cliche "a few rotten apples in the bunch," but there are so many scandals going on now that it wouldn't fit.

 
Don't loose sight of the fact these people have been using collection plate money to pay off in court, out of court settlements, hush money bribes, heavy lawyer fees. Selling off billions of dollars in "parish" properties leaving parish contributers and donators void of their house of "worship". As big as the morality scandal is the financial scandal is of epic proportion when you concider the staggering CASH flow and NO accountablity.

This is good advice 😀

Someday, humanity will outgrow it's "need" for organized religion. Or not...
