However, failure to defrock him or at the very least, cloister him following subsequent offences and prosecution comes across as negligence.

Islam has a way to deal with people who engage in same sex activities.

Maybe the Catholics could learn from them.
In the lead up to the Reformation, many a heretic burned with alleged sin of sodomy attached his list of crimes.

So the church has gone astry.

Maybe you're right, but it seems kind of harsh.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Indeed it has and for quite some time. In fact, I have it on good authority from right here in the TNCR that recovering Catholics like Blondie and me were never really exposed to Catholicism as children but rather the Jansenist heresy which permeated the clergy prior to and shortly after Vatican II and turned Catholics away from the true faith. Imagine that!

What then did you mean by
Celibacy attracts those with secret forbidden desires.
It provides an explanation to the public for not being married.
Their vocation is the perfect cover.


What secret forbidden desire other than homosexuality?
What explanation would be needed for not being married?
What would their vocation be a cover for?


Uhm ... child molesters ...
Uhm ... check out the title of this thread. :doh:
You mean those men who are homosexually attracted to adolescent young men, as is the case of 80% of the perps and 75% of the victims? Those gays who prefer younger men -- what do you folks call them... "chickens"?

Oh of course, they are not "homosexual" they just like having sex with sexually maturing or mature teenage males. Got it.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

All I have to say on this subject is, that is this doesn't knock some sense into the Vatican that it's high time to lift the celibacy requirement of (and also consider admitting women to ) the priesthood, then the Catholic church deserves to shrivel and die. this may well be the death knell if they don't respond appropriately.

I think I've gone on record as having a pretty strong opposition to the RCC's stance on celibacy and female clergy - but that comment's just over the edge. Yes, the RCC has problems. No, it does not deserve to shrivel and die for either of those stances.

Yet, I do believe it's time for its Vatican to implode. Good Catholics world-wide would be better served without this institution.

He's right, that is over the edge.

Your thoughtless blabbermouth really lowers the level around here.

And then comes the whining.

Ohhhh I'm a poor old innocent victim, they said mean things to me.

Any trash talk that gets dumped your way will be more than well deserved.

Hmmm, then they wouldn't be RC. I guess they would all be Episcopalian. :lol2:

Considering the fact that 15% of children are sexually abused, and fully 1/3 of those are by family, it's high time the institution of families are done away and all children raised by the state.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Careful what you say in satire, LD. I remember when Rush Limbaugh spoke jokingly of governmental authorities imposing a fat tax to offset healthcare costs - and way back when twin-blade razors just came out, SNL did a parody commercial for a (laugh, laugh) *three*-blade razor, for an even closer shave; with the slogan, "Because if you'll buy a two-blade razor, you'll buy just about anything." ^_^

And for the reason cited in the other thread you are wrong in stating that Ratzinger protected a child molester. There is not a shred of evidence that he did so.
