Why Children should be protected from religious indoctrination

Catholic Church in St. John's found liable for abuse of 8 altar boys

The boys, who were the altar boys in these parishes, generally came from the more devout Catholic homes. The more devout, the more religious parents that pushed their children to become altar boys, and these were the boys who were victimized by their parish priest.

And how did the Catholic Church respond to this abuse?

There were also allegations that previous investigations, beginning in 1975, had been covered up, and the offenders whisked away to other provinces, where they received treatment and soon took on new religious postings.

Irresponsibility, denial, and law evasion.

Apologists will say its isolated, blah blah, blah, but this kind of recurring news has brought the catholic church to its knees.

Pardon the pun.

We don't send children into any high risk areas and its about time people view the church as one of those places. Recommend this Post

Chavez Finally Gets Something Right

Chavez recently described the Catholic leadership as "liars" and "perverts." which is something I can concur with after being abused by the clergy myself. Trust me, after being raped by God's people you kind of get the feeling he doesn't actually exist except in your worst nightmares.

"The bishops said Saturday that "no one, much less the president … has a right to insult or attack people or institutions who dissent."Venezuela's Roman Catholic bishops expressed serious concern about President Hugo Chavez's plans to rewrite the constitution, saying he has no right to insult priests who publicly disagree with him.

The bishops said Saturday that "no one, much less the president … has a right to insult or attack people or institutions who dissent.

They also expressed doubts about Chavez's efforts to help the poor and said they're concerned about upcoming education reforms, citing fears that schools could take on an "ideological and political orientation."

And the catholic church is so well known for there "no strings attached" ways of dealing with issues. This coming from the group ruled by the worst human being who ever existed (Pope Benedict) who has decided to allow praying for the souls of Jews.

Can you be anymore of a bigoted prick? This man (and I am grasping at straws at calling him a man who has no qualities to qualify him as such) should be called on his words and actions, and removed from society. We have no need to for such a poisonous member of the human race.

F**cking pig. Perfect match for Joanne at Joannes Journey (warning, don't click if you have a "soul"). Recommend this Post
