    It's interesting how in the face of something controversy people are so willing to just turn there backs on the Church. The Church is not evil, but can have bad people in it just like other churches and faiths. Jesus said, "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Mathew 16:18

      You need to study the original language of the verse you quoted. It does not say or mean that the church was built on Peter, but rather on the rock-solid faith in Jesus that Peter displayed. The Christian church is not built on Peter; he was not a pope. There is no "pope" in the Bible. The true church is built on Christ Jesus, no one and nothing else. The Catholic church was invented by men hundreds of years later and is full of doctrines not espoused by Jesus or anyone in the Bible. There are sinners in every church of every kind, but the Catholic church is rife with problems because of the false doctrines they have imposed for so long, and now it is beginning to pay the price. Read your Bible and find a church that more closely resembles the churches of the new testament.

    SteveE actually jesus never said anything is a sin. but the people living during his time new the Moral Law of God given to them thru Moses. Just because Jesus didnt say "its a sin" doesnt give one a license to manifest ANY type of lifestyle they wish to. The truth is although culture may change and get more and more tolerant God doesnt change with the culture. The bible isnt a manual to find loopholes as if......."it doesnt say sin right here so lets do it". Wrong idea of God. People live righteous, moral lives due to loving God. Notice I said "righteous" because any human being can basically pull off living morally sound. But righteousness involves a relationship with Jesus which is totally different from "religion" and trying to do "whats right".

    as crazy as it sounds, the bible actually calls the Catholic church a harlot (whore) ... the bible identifies this church as the one that sits on seven hills (Rome).
    (Rev 18:4-5 NIV) Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; {5} for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

    Anyone heard of the Inquisition?

    I find it interesting that most if not all of the attacks on the Catholic Church today focus on its greatest weakness, ie human frailty, and not its truths or doctrine. The early heresies were fruitless and died while the truth and doctrine survived. Yes, today's evil acts happen everywhere, schools, churches/temples of all religions, public institutions, etc., and have been happening for thousands of years, but the difference today is the focus of the media. What I'm amazed by is the fact that the Catholic Church as an institution still survives (and grows no less) despite these attacks on its weaknesses, and, again, not on its truths/doctrines. I am confident these present day evil issues will be resolved and full well realize that some other form of evil will pop up to replace it, much like the heresies of old. Go Catholic Church, Bride of Christ!

      BRAVO, SINNED!! WELL PUT! But do you really think the anti-Catholic bimbos will listen to that? Not likely...FOOLS that they are!

      • Posted By: Rachel1234 @ 10/19/2007 5:05:49 PM

        I agree that you cannot attack the evils committed by the people in the church. We are ALL human and we will ALL sin. There is not a sin that is greater than any other sin. In God's eyes, sin is sin. Priests are human. Priests will sin. The same goes with a minister or a preacher. There is non infallible. Not even the Pope. My problem is not with the evil acts or sins committed by the people in the church, but rather with the doctrine of the Catholic church. The Catholic church teaches a 'works' based salvation (sacraments, etc.). The Bible says those who believe in Jesus will be saved and that Jesus alone saves. Any doctrine that teaches otherwise is heresy. The Catholic church teaches prayers on the rosary or prayers to Mary. The Bible teaches not to have any idols before God. The Catholic church teaches you to go to confession so that a priest can absolve you of your sin. The Bible teaches only Jesus can forgive you of your sin. Get the picture?

    LisaSmith... YOU ARE AN IDIOT! Do you honestly believe the B.S. you write? OMG you're probably a closet freak too, I'll see you on "DATELINE to catch a predator", huh? The reason for this Vatican B.S. is just the same prob as people like LisaSmith here; the result of a world with it's head so far up it's @ss it can't see the reality of things. After hundreds of years of B.S. I can't believe anyone would take The Vatican seriously.

  • Posted By: lasvegaspisces @ 10/19/2007 3:58:11 PM

    LisaSmith, you are an idiot. Go F__k yourself, I'm sure no one else is f__king you. Obviously you are a closet homosexual yourself, I've only ever met a handful (no pun intended) of people who spewed such homophobic B.S. and they were all gay!!! Do you honestly believe the sh*t you write? PLEASE.

    A number of you are asking what does pedophilia have to do with homosexuality - this is a post I made - maybe this will help.

    Comment: 1/3 of all child molestations reported in the US are committed by the 2-3% of the population that is gay (6-9 million people). The other 2/3 to be committed by the other 294 million Americans. Get the picture? Child molestation among homosexuals is quite obviously far more prevalent among homosexuals

  • Posted By: Bogatyrka88 @ 10/18/2007 11:39:46 AM

    Ah yes...I'll have to remember that every priest/clergyman that hits on gay laymen is the spawn of Satan, or sacrificing gay animals to Satan, or burning their shrines to Madonna (not the Virgin Mary one) or some other doublespeak.
    Hate to tell ya, but there are plenty of gay clergy out there, and not all of them just "play with their own rosaries". Stay in the closet if you want, but spare us the tired old queen rhetoric of how evil homosexuals are...if you touch the penis that is not your own, and you aren't in a medical setting, then you're gay...gaygaygaygaygay.

    • Posted By: klo63 @ 10/18/2007 2:31:03 PM

      wow I was under the impression you were born with the homosexual gene.there should be a place for homosexual clergy.Not in a hetersexual setting.Problem solved.

      • Posted By: LisaSmith @ 10/19/2007 3:47:47 PM

        NO one is born gay - it isnt possible - homosexuals can't reproduce so how do they pass on their genes? Some say they slept with the straight population - fine. then the population of homosexuals should be on the decline and completely wiped out in what... 100-150 years? But we all know that won't happen.

  • Posted By: respectable gay person @ 10/19/2007 1:19:32 PM

    Iceman: What does homosexuality have to do with pedophilia and the administering of rights to a pedophile? And why do you use this to purvey a message of unequality under the laws of this nation. One nation, under God, with liberty and just ice for ALL. That includes all taxpaying fags and dykes.. When you pray to your God, I hope you pray for some insight to your own prejudices.

    I guess I must have missed it. Would someone tell me where, in the Bible, Jesus says that homosexuality is a sin.

  • Posted By: TELLTHETRUTH @ 10/19/2007 3:20:35 PM

    twinkletoes.......what type of "urges" do u have around children? are ua pedophile at heart?

  • Posted By: TELLTHETRUTH @ 10/19/2007 3:14:58 PM

    twinkletoes exactly what type "urges" do you have around children? are you a pedophile at heart?

  • Posted By: TELLTHETRUTH @ 10/19/2007 3:13:01 PM

    pupuguru in response to your vain question....there is no sensationalism in a muslim, buddhist, nor hindu sex scandal. does it happen? are people in other faiths human? therein lies your answer.

  • Posted By: twinkle_toes @ 10/19/2007 2:55:07 PM

    I am a GAY american. I also happen to be a priest. It doesn't make me a bad person. I can control my urges when children are around. So just get over it.

  • Posted By: pupuguru @ 10/19/2007 2:20:01 PM

    Why is it there are never any Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist sex scandals reported?? Seems to be a Christian thing, with a touch of Judaic for good measure.

    OK, some examples of words that don't belong together:

    Homosexual priests
    Day care pedophiles
    Honest crooks
    Criminal cops
    Retarded geniuses
    Men with men
    Women with women
    Idols in church
    Religion and politics
    Hillary in the Whitehouse
    OJ and innocence

    We can all find ways to justify our sins. We can all say God says we should accept everyone so therefore everyone can do whatever they want and it's perfectly OK. We can also all sit back and blame everything bad in the world on God because He is an irresponsible Father. Wouldn't it be true that if you can thank God for all of the good in your life you can also blame Him for all of the bad? If all your father did was shower you with gifts and whenever you had trouble could never be found would you consider him irresponsible or a good father? In the bible God made his presence known. Has God perfomed any miracles in your lifetime? (Just remember if you say He did did you also lose soemeone to a horrible accident or disease? If you did why didn't he stop it?) I laugh when I hear "It's what God wants". I don't know about any of you but my God doesn't make people suffer for His own gain. The bottom line here is this world is on the fast track to self destruct. No one wants to be responsible for his or her own actions and they look to find ways and excuses to justify their actions. The catholic church is the best example of this. How anyone can respect the catholic religion is beyond me. This religion is responsible for more death and suffering than any other religion on the planet. WAKE UP!

      Please give us the totals on Catholic suffering and death, compared to Muslim, Judaic and Hindu. I am curious about you method of measuring.
