Question

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/16/church.abuse/

Answer 1

i think Christianity is one of the best religions but its not truly represented by the Churchs....... Churchs have created so many lies to increase the number of followers and to misguide the Christians..... specially Catholic churches... they have murdered many people to fulfill own worldly desires.......

Answer 2

why must christians put up with this?

It's unfair to single out the christians priests as the threat to little kiddies like that . This Q is slightly offensive on that count, i have to strongly disagree with you

You have to look at the bigger picture and not drag religion into this. The real cause for such sick devianist behaviour, in my opinion, has it's roots in social and sexual repression.
No religion on earth advocates these .

to answer the question, for it to never happen again i suggest the following
a) wipe the entire population from the face of the earth, or,:

b)place emphasis on education. Enlightenment is the only way out .........unless you've mistaken morons as the sole torch bearers of faith..........

Answer 3

Usually nothing. In most caes they are sent for treatment and then put back into the same situations after they are cured. Meanwhile the victims have to deal with the aftermath for life. Doesn't seem right or fair but if you look at the history of mankind, the church has never been fair or right. Just another big business...

Answer 4

You have to remember that a lot of these are probably false. Let's just say that every kid was telling the truth. I would suggest a lot of prayer. What can you do to stop the sinner before he sins? Pray. Intercede.

I never really got the whole thing that catholic priests aren't allowed to marry. Marriage, one man and one woman, was created by God. God gave a woman to Adam. The argument that catholics sometimes use is that it takes their minds attention off God. But Adam didn't take his eyes off God when Eve came into the picture. Plus, God gave you those raging hormones. God blesses sex inside of marriage.


and uh, to understand the first response.... who did the catholic church murder??

Answer 5

Well by priest I guess you mean Roman Catholic. In they USA they are ferried to Santa Fe, New Mexico on the theoretical grounds that Christ Jesus commanded we should forgive seven times seven. There they receive exorcism if necessary, prayer and counseling. Then they're free to take on another assignment. We live downstream from Santa Fe. We get the reformed ones.

Answer 6

More step-fathers have sexually abused their wives daughters than priests have abused boys.

What is being done so that step-fathers no longer have access to their wives' children?

Blaming priests for the problem we have with child molestation is the same as blaming homosexuals for the problems with marriage. The problem is with society, not with priests.

Answer 7

I have heard that kids under 18 can't be alone with a priest now, and that's unfortunate we have come to it. But usually they are NOT sent back to priesthood-they are asked to leave.

Answer 8

Some ordinary people molest children as well. It is a horrible sin and has no place anywhere in society. Any Catholic priest found guilty of this crime is removed of his duties.

Answer 9

those priests who abuse kids are sick and dont know what they r doin, in short shd either be in mental hosp or in prison just like anyone else who abuses anyone, kid or not kid

Answer 10

To get them to live normal life with wives.
