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.

Mary Ever-Virgin pray for me.
quote:
The Nature of Wisdom
For in her there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy,
unique, manifold, subtle,
mobile, clear, unpolluted,
distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen,
irresistible, 23 beneficent, humane,
steadfast, sure, free from anxiety,
all-powerful, overseeing all,
and penetrating through all spirits
that are intelligent and pure and most subtle.
24 For wisdom is more mobile than any motion;
because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.
25 For she is a breath of the power of God,
and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.
26 For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of his goodness.
27 Though she is but one, she can do all things,
and while remaining in herself, she renews all things;
in every generation she passes into holy souls
and makes them friends of God, and prophets;
28 for God loves nothing so much as the man who lives with wisdom.
29 For she is more beautiful than the sun,
and excels every constellation of the stars.
Compared with the light she is found to be superior,
30 for it is succeeded by the night,
but against wisdom evil does not prevail.
mary pray for me. convert these sinners to your son and his holy church. ask your son to show me mercy for i am a lowly sinner.. humbly i ask you to stand as a rebuke against the aspersions cast about your Son's holy church, the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Truly, God’s mercy is forever; it never ends, it never runs out, it never gives up when faced with closed doors, and it never tires. In this forever we find strength in moments of trial and weakness because we are sure that God does not abandon us. He remains with us forever. Pope Francis

our pope was a biologist by trade who believes in evolutionary theory.
he affirms what we as catholics believe that we are created beings, intelligently designed.
the devil may have convinced some of you that you are not created, but byproducts of a random combustion that makes a man walking on water and rising from the dead look commonplace.
Blessed Michael, archangel,
defend us in the hour of conflict.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil
(may God restrain him, we humbly pray):
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God thrust Satan down to hell
and with him those other wicked spirits
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen
has lucifer lied to you so thoroughly, atheists, to convince your boy-like minds, that you were not created, but byproducts of mere chance? without identity, soulless, is there a fate worse than hell? --perhaps there is, as implicated in the doctrine of atheism.

what's that sound?
that's the deafening sound of your non-existence
evcforum is a better god than your atheism
at least you have a voice, a paltry one at best, though

rest assured life is good. really good. not sure i want to take it farther than that right now. flattered youre interested in the details of my personal life. charlie and i have been arguing about the perpetual virginity of mary to the point of exhaustion. hope that gives you an idea of where i'm at.
i will say this
one is powerless aggainst the devil without the rosary. i make it a point to pray the sorrowful mysteries every day. i recently asked jesus to replace my guardian angel with st michael the archangel. i'm not sure the request was granted, but being that st michael destroys the devil at the end of time, i thought it a wise request.

Christ is sending us a message. I love you. to this looney tunes catholic. to you the sophomoric atheist. to phat the evangelist.
he's sending us a message I love you. I love you so much I died for you. I love you so much I found the one thing worth dying for and it was you. I love you so much I lowered myself to the level of a human, so I can feel as you feel. So when my friend Lazarus died I could feel the pain of his sisters. And I could weep.
I love you with the purest of all possible loves agape love, and roman catholic and protestants can affirm and attest to this love.
people with profound disabilities attest to the love of Christ.
it's not that our god is sending us conflicting messages. His message is simple. I love you. Exclamation point. Exclamation point. I AM and I love you until my sacred heart gives out, until I say it's finished, until I give my mother to my beloved disciple, until I can no longer breathe the same air as you with the same lungs as you. I love you, and my Divine Son is the ultimate evidence that God loves.

Re:
i believe in god because no one ever gave me agape love. except jesus christ.
you don't believe in god, because you don't believe he's capable of loving you.
but in his torturous death he proved his love is enough.
much like modern atheists, the roman guard spit on christ, bashed him in the head, gave him a reed, and pretended he was a king, spit in his face, scoffing is nothing new.
yet our lord died for every scoffer.
in the off chance their hearts open
and we feel the force of God's love
true love
agape love
love that humans can't know alone.
without Christ
we would never feel agape love
and he chose to dispense this agape love
through his sacred heart and his divine mercy
the rays of truth and love pour forth from his heart.
he loves you

interesting that george carlin was roman catholic
i thought he was a jew.
his chief objection to christ is that there is suffering in an imperfect world and it's god's fault.
Christ was flayed on a stone. chunks of flesh came out of his back.
Christ deeply communes with the suffering, in ways Carlin couldn't understand.
perhaps his rejection of faith goes deeper into issues of parental resentment.

Actor-comedian George Carlin spent several summers at Camp Notre Dame on Spofford Lake (along with SNL director Dave "Wacky" Wilson and New Yorker cartoonist Leo Cullum-the camp was owned by the Cullum family) in his childhood; after his death in 2008, he was cremated and part of his ashes were scattered in the lake.[4][5]
interesting i spent many summers at a summer camp on this lake. it was sold to a protestant group by the time i spent summers there.
those were hellacious summers. protestant christian raised teens can be some of the most vicious people you've ever seen.
now i have this connection with george carlin in that we both spent a lot of time on spofford lake in new hampshire.
i was raised in an irish catholic broken family too like carlin, with nypd connections
but jesus christ and his mother mary have given me grace my entire life
grace to believe
now i pray for carlin and hope he finds eternal rest with our lord and eternal creator.
