Quote: The Conspiracy:There has been a nationwide pattern which I have observed over the last 35 years. Bishops know of ongoing sexual misconduct by Catholic priests and religious and bishops co-operate to keep such misconduct from becoming public knowledge. The following are uniform practices: failing to investigate indications of any sexual misconduct, even with children; failing to supervise properly the cleric in his assignment, failing to ensure that the cleric is prosecuted for misconduct with children. Once an incident occurs, energy and policies at the highest levels of Church authority have been directed to damage control, avoidance of scandal at all costs, and efforts to placate and manipulate victims and families. The latter often involves intimidation, misleading information, andeven fraudulent means, if necessary. Policy also involves maintaining the priest in a new assignment without proper supervision and without informing the congregation where the abusive behaviour usually continues. --A.W. R.

Quote:. . . as it stands, going to a priest for help with marriage and family issues makes as much sense as going to someone for swimming lessons who can't swim.

Quote:Well, the nerve of that St. Paul preaching on marriage and the single life when he didn't have a clue!

Quote:The Apostle Paul also looked at the Rapture and Second Coming to happen in his lifetime.. . . should he be discounted because of that?

Quote:I don't see what you posted as proof that St. Paul thought the rapture or 2nd Coming was going to happen in his lifetime. I just think he was telling them to always be ready because NO man knows the day nor the hour....

Quote:That Paul believed that the rapture and second coming could happen in his lifetime can be seen why he taught it was better to be single.

Quote:Sid, you're reading something into the Scriptures that is NOT there....the very charge your ilk makes against Catholics.
Quote:Even so, you're reasoning for the single life being the better choice works since EVERY generation for 2000+ years now thought they were the ones to see the 2nd Coming of Christ.
