More of these, please.

A Priest having sex with males does not make him homosexual. It was just a thang, baby.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

That's true, and you can make a case that this will cause more sexual abuse in the catholic church.

When it comes to covering it up, however, the other religions have the same reasons for doing it as the catholics. It's fair to assume that abuse has taken place in other religions as well, and so it's a fair assumption that they have also covered it up.

I missed this.

You know what, you're right!

Look how bad the Africans are at covering these things up!

They're giving the Anglican Illuminati a bad name!

It took less than 60 seconds to find that.

Want to bet I can dig up the last few cases in the UK where the priest was caught, and not 20 years later?

This problem exists in ALL "respected" professions, including education. The current strenuous efforts to keep covering it up are, however, peculiar to one Church.

The Roman Church recognises "homosexuality" as a practice, not an "orientation.

All Sin is equal in the eyes of God

Are you sure that's doctrine? Sounds wonky to me.

So if I'm rude to my mom, that's exactly as sinful to God as if ethnically cleanse an entire nation?

Or if I take the Lord's name in vain after hitting my head, that's exactly as bad in God's eyes as if I create a rape camp?

I have a feeling there's more to Catholic doctrine than you're letting on.

Well one wouldn't need to practice if one had recieved a proper orientation.


I think if I were going to be a gay priest I would just find another gay priest TBH, seems like it would be so easier, because teenage boys are, like, so immature

Nvm.

Well, it had nothing to do with your post, MRD

It was just me making a post I felt was irrelevant, and me not figuring that out until after I had posted...

Yes

People get confused because of Purgatory, but that's just punishment - eventually you get into heaven, it's a forgone conclusion.

Sin is disobedience to God - all Sin, any Sin, sends you straight to Hell unless you repent.

Christianity is a harsh religion.

MRD's question is apt, because such issues have been raised.

The answer, FYI, is probably Thursday for Catholics and Saturday or really early Sunday morning for Protestants.

Err... there is a big difference between homosexuality and pedophilia. Pedos become priests to prey on children.

A lot of the abuse happened to girls as well.

They seem to have been forgotten in the media coverage though.
