Tan, what did I write that I attributed to YOU? What I quoted came from the BBC that you linked to.

Quote:
Oh, I did notice that CS had a section about priests trading absolution for a hummer...and that section about priests brutally sodomizing BARNYARD ANIMALS was quite shocking , don't you think?


What did you find so "shocking" about it? Did you find it shocking that it is a "worst crime?"

73. To have the worst crime, for the penal affects, one must do the equivalent of the following: any obscene, external act, gravely sinful, perpetrated in any way by a cleric or attempted by him with youths of either sex or with brute animals (beastiality).

And, yes, Tan, I have read the document. I just didn't put the same "spin" on it that you did!! You love to sensationalize things, don't you? You obviously love the shock value you garner from people of like minds when you sensationalize things like you do!

And in case you're not aware, it is the Church's duty to judge these things by themselves. There's NOTHING wrong with the document. What's wrong is the way you've spun it!!

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the Smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers....." ~ 1 Cor 6:1-6



God bless you
