agree totally with you. there should be no one who should judge an entire group or race because of a handful of deviants. this is about the same answer I posted on the question you referred to.

May be if the Roman Catholic church admitted the fact that child abuse is rife in the church instead of trying to hide it and promoting know paedophiles then this would stop, but as all religions are built on lies and sham this will never happen

But the United States Government punishes Sex Offenders from other religions and doesn't let their respective churches hide them and give them immunity from prosecution. Catholic Priests should be treated the same as any other Sex offender. They should be stripped of their title thrown into jail and not allowed to be around children for the rest of their lives. Instead the church covers it up when they can and moves them to another play ground were they can destroy the lives of other innocent children. I believe in God but i also believe in the rights of children who cannot effectively protect themselves from these predators.

Sorry, Cozi, but I do stereotype Catholics, more so as hypocrites than anything else. How many Catholics do you know who are on birth control or who live together before marriage? I have them in my own family, a Catholic nephew and his finance who are living together.
I also think that when a religion is so dogmatically strict about what is a sin, such as sex for priests, pre-marital sin, and birth control, that it is human nature to rebel. Based on that, Catholics are quite likely to rebel.

There's alot of immaturity. Many people are just venting or having a good time being ornery. Ignore them or, if you truly believe they have crossed the line into obscenity or harassment, report them....then just move on.
Hoping the best for you...

it is sad but its the fact that priest who can not marry are put in the postion of working with children that increases the problem and worries those out side. if the leaders are the ones comiting the ofences what hope for their parishoners ??

So true...If we would all just examine our own hearts, we would not find time or inclination to point the finger at others. (Romans 3:23)
