Never mind what 1st Corinthians says. Associated Press reported today that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will pay out $600 million dollars in lawsuits brought by some 500 victims. I find myself half-hoping that some of the big dioceses -- L.A., Boston, etc. -- end up declaring bankruptcy because of this. It's no more than they deserve, indeed it's probably less.

Nice point, but I must ask OK. Are these clergy in your church? Did they join the organization you joined and are they under the authority of your leaders?

They do not belong to the organization that I am a part of for I am as a "NO" not affiliated with any group or organization except the church where my Lord placed me. I joined none because that in my view is the job of My God to put me where he wants me to be. I am just a tool and as such I should not try to take over the position of authority that was given to Jesus as the head of the church. I let the head make the decisions and just accept them for in my view He is the boss.

If those clergy are not a part of your church , I read that we should just leave them alone based upon the advice of Jesus. "If they are not with us, just leave them alone"

Are not the true followers of Jesus in the world but not a part of the world? Are not these followers called out of the world?

If this be true and we are called to set our sights on the future by faith, why spend a lot of time trying to correct the world? If I spend a lot of time correcting the world I may be distracted from looking forward to what lies ahead.

Do have a good day and just smile as you see that the perfect plan of God is exactly where the Bible says it should be and that God is truly in control. Please see that God see more than you do and He is more than able to fix it all in His good time when He desires it to be fixed.

I had no concept that the abuse became into so usually occurring. enable's merely say 0.5 of the allegations are fake, it remains a monument to hypocrisy. it extremely is not any longer for us to choose our faith as corrupt relating to those unfavorable examples. Our own relationship with G-d is all that concerns. How can those hypocrites even stay with themselves is previous my expertise. no longer in basic terms could it extremely is disgusting regardless of in the event that they have been secular molesters, yet to symbolize our faith and subsequently better the reason for anti-semitism is an abomination no longer in basic terms with the aid of the regulations of the Torah, yet to my own own values. they could all be castrated and have their destiny toddlers stored from an insupportable destiny.

Each one of us should be worrying about the beam in our own eye and not worry about the speck in others.
Let God do His job of judging people, He is the best there is at it,because He knows all the circumstances of each situation and He knows just how to punish those who do wrong. We are called to pray for the victims of such crimes and for the perpetrators.

There's 2% or so accused among the clergy(Protestant,Catholic,Orthodox,Jewish,etc) but a much larger % among public school teachers and employees.

OK James but RCC claims to be the true church of God before yesterday.

i find it very sad becuase abuse in the Rcc is only a small, very small iota of childhood abuse.
