JohnGalway 1,043 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 As a non-catholic I was lucky enough to vist Rome a couple of years ago and was lucky enough to secure an offer of a Papal audience which I attended with my wife who is Roman Catholic! As a member of Church of Scotland (Protestant) I deemed the offer as a great honour and my wee mrs was over the moon As a non-catholic I took no part in any religous aspects of the audience This visit should be seen mainly as a pastoral visit for the UK's practicsing Catholic congregations, should go ahead and be treated accordingly, The paedophile priest issue raise's the question of the Pope's infallibilty! according to Catholic tradition the Pope cannot be wrong? in issues relating to the church? In the instances of these priests he was wrong? but thats another issue! Those priests should never have been given the anonimity and security offered by the present Pope when he was a Cardinal, they should have been identified to the prosecuting authoroties at the time and been severely punished by the criminal courts and to hell with the embarrassment percieved by the church Tom Good post Tom Link to post Share on other sites

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 That's the way it works. Go out and commit all the sins you want, call in and see a priest and three hail mary's and a blow job later your sins are forgiven. And if your a priest yourself jobs a good'un FTB Link to post Share on other sites

The catholic church has for decades (probably centuries) covered up abuse carried out by these so called men and women of god not just in Ireland, Malta, Germany, Canada, USA, in fact in most countries and here we have someone who could have shown the compassionate side of the church by standing up and admitting that this went on. He could have apologised and done his utmost to try to help those who have been abused, but of course he didn't and hasn't. He could have ensured these sick perverts were arrested and all evidence given to the police. Once again he didn't and hasn't. By his own inaction and silence he is as guilty as the abusers who carried out these sick acts and when/if anyone is tried in a court he should stand alongside them, charged as an accessory to the crimes.

WILF 44,332 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I am a catholic and fairly religeous in my own way and as with all things its all "do as I say and not as I do" with the organised church. If they had any christian morals at all they would have thrown the whole thing open for all the world to see and let those responsible pay the price. But no, its all about keeping face, same as all those twats who sit in church twice a week and think putting a tenner on the collection plate makes you a good christian......same people who probably wouldnt help you if you were laying in the street. Being Christian and the organised church have f**k all to do with one and other, one is a set of pricipals to live your life by and the other is just another money making club! If the pope had any morals at all he would step down and let the police have free access to everything until all the filthy lot have been locked up and the whole house cleaned.

How much has the priest paid you? Thread isn't about anyone or anything other than should the pope come to England, it's gone off track because he's been sussed covering up for blokes who bugger children. Nothing to do with trading atrocities, you've got no chance of deflecting the hatred and villification that is owed to those who knew and did nothing. Dodgy, dirty, child molesting b.astards, and all the time they had the protection of the so called infallible God on earth. What a load of shit. You just wait until the full scale of the abuse is known ................. I'd guess this is only the start. Link to post Share on other sites
