Catholic Church Talks Abuse, Gay Marriage

This is beside the point to what the Church is saying. Obviously, emotionally, sexually immature men will perform abberant and even deviant behavior such as abusing kids and homosexual acts. It can be argued that people who identify themselves as gay started out the same way but never matured out of homosexual behavior.

THEY ARE SO RETRO AND RETARD!!!!!

By admitting what we already knew about abuse some American bishop's shot at getting the call-up to Vatican City just took a turn for the worse. Just goes to show why science is so dangerous!

Mark, the Catholic teaching that sex is for procreation is much more far-reaching than you think. Yes, the church should oppose marriage for infertile or elderly heterosexuals who can't procreate as you say, BUT, they should also, to be consistent. oppose ALL sex between fertile heterosexual couples, unless done for the purpose of procreation! The church teaching is very clear: its wrong to use birth control pills & condoms because that would be sex without intent to procreate (a sin, obviously). But they've been hypocritical about something and someone ought to call them on it. The church says its ok to plan sex for a woman's infertile time of month & avoid sex at other times, but isn't that birth control? Isn't that a sin too? Isn't that just a calculated act of sexual intercourse (dithgusting!) with the express intent of NOT procreating? Isn't saying that that's ok just a hot, steaming pile of hypocritical bullshit? Perhaps there's a theologian out there who can help clear this up?

Pedophilia drained the Catholic Church of 100s of millions of dollars. Catholic Bishops' homilies against same-sex marriage during their mass hauls back 100s of millions. (Explain this to your Catholic family and friends)

The Catholic Church is fighting to prevent non-Catholics from getting married. It is about imposing their will on all citizens.

Okie dokie, time to pull this one out of the hat and have the 'church' explain it to me - very very carefully..."Jesus affirmed a gay couple" -- a reference to the gospel story of Jesus healing the "servant" of a Roman soldier (his male lover, according to some biblical scholars) -- and "Ruth loved Naomi as Adam loved Eve." Sound familiar you religious bigots? And get your effing nose out of government - Marriage IS a civil contract. All you do is blow smoke and say some fancy words around it but what happens in your church has no legal bearing upon marriage. And, using procreation as an argument; that means my parents who are in the 90's should no longer be able to be married, or my aunt who is 83 can't marry the man she's dating because he's 81 and they can't procreate. Sheesh.......

No one ever said that all priests are pedophiles just as no one has said that all priests have mistresses (as some do) or some are secretly married. The church needs to leave the United States Goverrnment and its states alone. They are violating the Separation of Church and State and seem to be getting away with it--we have only to look at Maine and California. It was the Catholic Church who led the fight to ban gay people's civil right just as they did the Jews during Nazi Germany---yes it was the Catholic Church that did this--just as they boiled alive people during the Spanish Inquistion which Napoleon stopped. WAKE UP PEOPLE----you are not going to have any rights left except what the Catholic Church, the Mormons and Southern Baptists tell you that you can have. WILL SOME ONE STAND UP AND ENFORCE THE LAWS AGAINST CHURCHES INFLUENCING STATES AND GETTING IN BED WITH STATE BESIDES ME? WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FREE OF RELIGION AND ITS INFLUENCE BUT THAT IS SELDOM BROUTH TO FORE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THINK. THIS IS ABOUT SECULAR LAW, NOT YOUR DAMN FAIRY TALES. JESUS F**KING CHRIST.
