Yeh, far better idea to stick with the sado-masachism. The bunch of paedophilic psychopaths that run the multi-billion dollar, global corporation haven't yet found that sinful.

Defrocked and adjudicated ? They (and the bastards who hid and protected them for decades) should be imprisoned.
The axe I have to grind is you trying to attribute the moral high ground to a religion which for so long allowed children to be subjected to one of the most horrific crimes there exists, all to protect its reputation. Your church hid these crimes - your church protected these fuckers - your church cared more about their reputation than they cared about children getting raped by their priests. You have no - and I mean zero - moral high ground pal.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

I see. Like I said, you love to denigrate Jesus and totally throw his teaching away. What you market is deplorable.

i wasn't claiming a moral high ground. but for you to gloss over the good that is done by the church because of the sex abuse scandal is not fair to roman catholicism. we are more than the bad apples.

you have no fruits. the uncharitable and inane way you carry discourse is evidence of this. you speak presumptuously about the God Man without understanding the faith. claptrap is a word i would use to describe your online presence here.

This is an old systemic disease in your church that has been festering for centuries so stop with the bad apples crap. The whole edifice is rot of morality, corruption of body and soul and evil disguised with a halo.
In a just world your religion would be anathema to all mankind, forced to divest of all its properties and dissolved into oblivion.Factio Republicana delenda est.

this is demonstrably false. the pedophile priests make up a small minority of the clergy.

i am in agreement that the catholic church failed in this regard. this does not mean that the entire organization should be abolished. what about the laity and all of the faithful not involved?
it should constitute and is to some extent a shakeup of leadership, not an abolition of the church.

WhateverTheFuckYou'reCalledTomorrow writes: i am in agreement that the catholic church failed in this regard. this does not mean that the entire organization should be abolished. Oh it does when the entire institution organised a global cover up of its offences and carries on doing it. Then pays its way out of the mess to the tune of 3bn and counting.
what about the laity and all of the faithful not involved? You need to nail a statement on the door of the Vatican telling them to vacate the premises with 24 hours notice, sell the assets, give the proceeds to the poor, convict the corrupt arseholes that run the joint, give up the sado-masochism bullshit and follow Jesus's actual message.Je suis Charlie.

Don't eliminate it. Tax it. I. e., eliminate its IRS 501(C)(3) status that makes donations to the church tax free. The RCC violates the rules for this status because they actively lobby both federal and state governments and even have large lobbying office in Washington. They also promote certain candidates and issues - 501(C)(3) charities are not allowed to try to influence elections. They should also not be exempt from property taxes. I would even go further and say the FDA should disallow them from promising immortal salvation in heaven (and damnation in hell), since that is obviously a significant health concern, unless they can prove efficacy to FDA standards.
Yes, this applies to many other religions, but lets start with the biggest offender. And yes, I realize I'm wasting my time to even write this post.

the catholic church, oh you mean the #1 most charitble organization in the world?
As I pointed out to Phat the other day, it isn't what you give that counts; it's what you hold back. When the Catholic church sells what it has and gives to the poor like Jesus told the rich young ruler, when it gives its last two mites like the poor widow, THEN maybe it can lay claim to #1."I've been to Moose Jaw, now I can die." -- John Wing
