I do ...
... mean the Catholic Church. That's the subject of the ARI press release. No doubt there are many fewer paedophiles among the clergy in other churches because those churches allow their clergy to marry. And I didn't "smear" all the Catholic clergy. I said the "bulk."
Surely you mean the Catholic Church, Linz
I cannot remember any allegations of paedophilia against clergy in British Protestant or Presbyterian Churches.
When I lived in Scotland, Catholic friends used to complain about the beatings that they received at school from nuns and priests.
The new Pope is an enigmatic character, conservative on some issues and left-wing on others. I would not trust him as far as I could throw him.
However, I would not smear all Roman Catholic clergy. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, based at Westminster Cathedral, seems a decent, honest and compassionate man.
Indeed.
And they tenaciously cling to a a pathetic doctrine of forgiveness, knowing how much they need saving and all the while projecting their "weaknesses" onto the rest of humanity. The most contemptible racket.
The Church of Paedophilia
I've just watched a doco on the Church's protection of its paedophile priests. The policy whereby all info about priests facing allegations has to be sent to the Vatican and concealed from civil authorities was laid down by none other than the present Pope in the 1990s when he was a Cardinal, and reiterated in 2001. Such priests were never disciplined by the church—just moved to new parishes, where they continued their child-molestings. I daresay the bulk of the clergy, including the Pope, are paedophiles. That's why they go into the church to begin with—proximity to vulnerable kids. I guess it's partly why they oppose contraception as well—more victims. Disgusting. They have no right to make moral pronouncements on anything. The Enemy of Prosperity, to be sure—and of decency.
