hypocrisy of american bishops

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

How can american bishops allow pedophile priests remain in the priest hood and yet expect adulterous priests to resign? Why does the church hide the truth and reassign pedophile priests to different parishes instead of turning them over to the police? Why does the church condone the payment of hush money to parents who pimp their kids by accepting this hush money? How can the pope say one thing and the american bishops do another? No wonder Martin Luther was successful. Such hypocrisy and cover ups are sickening.

Sickening? Weren't you just born sick? Make everybody happy and take a belly flop into the lake, OK?

As for the anonymous xxx of unknown origin; ''reform'' your own meals. Stop eating ''reformation caca''.

Like the label "Dark Ages", the term "Reformation" seems the wrong word to use. Noone reformed anything... they simply fell into apostacy and the Catholic Church weathered that storm, holding fast.

So when you say a Second Reformation, are you saying that Protestants should spawn a second morphing of themselves or that the nuevo apostates should fly the coop?
