Ugh If I was the Bishop this priest would be clarifying his remarks on his way to his next assignment somewhere above the North Pole. -
Ugh This is why I left the Roman church in a goddamn nutshell and why I will never return. I've got a suggestion about what this priest should go do but it's not anatomically possible.

Ratzinger blames pedophilia on liberal society and sex ed in schools
laPapessaGiovanna posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
After years of silence Ratzinger wrote the stupidest and most insulting thing he could ever come up with. I am so furious that if I weren't venting here, I'd be throwing things. This is how he starts off Got it people? Sex ed made priests into pedophilic criminals! But it gets better He saw NAKED PEOPLE! That's terrible! And seeing sexy things make you violent! He basically blames everyone from "the homosexuals", "the secular society" and "conciliarity" but the Church itself and doesn't spend a word on self reflection on himself or the church's structural prob -

Omaha Archdiocese reports substantiated allegations of misconduct
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
So far it involves 38 clergy Hiring a hit man? How Christ like was that Fiala? Who would Jesus have clipped? This is why I don't have much use for the moralizing the church does on a regular basis. -
Questions about becoming Catholic
99bottlesofPlexus posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
I hope this is the right forum... Long story short, I am seriously considering becoming Catholic. I have some personal history with the church (baptized Catholic as an infant, but never received the rest of the initiation sacraments; attended Catholic school for a few years; attended Mass occasionally with Catholic relatives), but never felt a strong pull toward it until the past year or so. I’ve discussed the issue with a couple priests, and found I have a significant roadblock, in that DH has a prior marriage that would have to be annulled, so ours could be convalidated in the RCC, in s -

Cardinal Ouellet to Vigano: Fornciate You
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Cardinal Ouellet delivered a big ol' fornicate you to Vigano Here's the Vatican news site with the full text of the letter. Heading out for the limb once again, but I wonder how many of the people who backed Vigano in his attacks on the Pope also say that what Kavadouche did was no big deal? -
Some Chicago area Catholics must really be pining for the good ol days when the church could burn books and people it didn't like with impunity. Unless the church removes him from the priesthood they are complicit as far as I am concerned.

Germany Too: enquiry on priests abuse in Germany
laPapessaGiovanna posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
An enquiry commissioned by the German Bishops and comducted by Universities of Giessen, Heidelberg and Mannheim finds more than 3600 minors were abused by clergy since 1947. And more than half of them were younger than 13yo when abused. Enquiry also says that real numbers are probably much higher. http://time.com/5394761/germany-catholic-church-sex-abuse-cases/ -
Buzzfeed news article on abuse at Catholic orphanages
Terrie posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Anyone else read the article recently released by Buzzfeed News? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/christinekenneally/orphanage-death-catholic-abuse-nuns-st-josephs?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc It's brutal. In the focus on sexual abuse by priests, a lot of the other types of abuse perpetrated and covered up by the Church are being swept aside.- 20 replies

Archbishop Vigano trying to get Francis to resign.

This guy again. This is the same Vigano who pulled that Kim Davis stunt on the Pope when said Pope visited Washington a couple years back. So anything Vigano says I take with several tons of salt. -
Pope Francis declares death penalty wrong in all cases
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Francis has decided that the church should oppose capital punishment in all cases Of course the reich to life folks in this country will be lining right up to support his new call to abolish capital punishment and doing away with the death penalty tomorrow. (Yeah, sarcasm). I'm generally opposed to it myself, but I think there are a few cases where I think it is an appropriate sanction, and if I had my way the only people eligible would be government employees guilty of treason, electoral fraud, or voter suppression - and it would include elected officials and members of the mili- 12 replies

Catholic priest kicks black family out of church during funeral
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
According to one Catholic priest even mourning while black is an intolerable offense This pisses me off. That priest needs to never be allowed to lead religious worship again of any kind. -
Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero to be named a Saint
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Archbishop Oscar Romero, who had been murdered by right wing death squads is going to be named a Saint. One thing Francis and the Catholic Church has done right. Hopefully there will be plenty of butt hurt from the Trump wing of the Catholic church over this as well as the members of the reich here in the US that supported the death squads. I've got my popcorn ready. -
Benedict might be gearing up for his final ride
47of74 posted a topic in Catholics - Catholicism - Orthodox
Sounds like Benedict is prepping people for his departure. https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/0207/939058-benedict-vatican/ It wouldn't surprise me if it happens sooner rather than later. Some people just know when they're going to be taking their final ride.
