The Blessed Eternal Creator, saw that Adam was lonely and CREATED FOR HIM A MATE! THAT WAS A BLESSING AND GOD’S CHOICE AND WILL !. <br />Every Rabbi MUST BE MARRIED ! Judaism is the ROOT from which the Roman Catholic Church took it’s teachings UNTIL they “rebelled” at GOD’S WORD! Many priests have become “homosexual” after entering priest hood. They are human, and I knew one from grade school. The Roman Catholic Church MADE THAT YOUNG MAN A “HOMOSEXUAL” AND THAT IS FOR SURE….PUT GUILT ON HIM. HE WAS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, WHERE HOMOSEXUALITY IS PREVALENT…ESPECIALLY IN THE CHURCH.<br />It is a MAJOR “MORTAL” SIN THAT THE CHURCH HAS BACKED UP THE IDEA OF CELIBACY AND MADE THE FOUNDATION FOR “YOUNG BOY CHILD MOLESTATIONS” AS THEY WERE INNOCENT “ALTAR BOYS”.<br />STOP THE TRADITION…FREE THE PRIESTS TO BE GOD LOVING, GOD FEARING MEN WITH A CHOICE TO LIVE AS GOD, HIMSELF CHOSE. JESUS “Y’SHUA” MIGHT HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO MARY MAGDALENE, WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT SHE WAS “ALWAYS” WITH HIM. JESUS “Y’SHUA” DID NOT HAVE LONG HAIR. JEWISH MEN DO NOT WEAR LONG HAIR ! ! !…AND PAUL, HIMSELF WROTE IN CORINTHIANS “IT IS A SHAME UNTO A MAN TO WEAR LONG HAIR”….SO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS MADE “JESUS” A SHAME UNTO THE WORLD ! <br /><br />THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS A LOT OF DECEIT, LIES AND FALSE TEACHINGS AS THE BLESSED MOTHER PREDICTED THAT IT WOULD FALL APART AND IT IS.<br />BLESSED BE THE MOTHER OF Y'SHUA "JESUS" THE ANOINTED ONE.."CHRIST".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-67571817369925930192010-04-03T13:26:50.589-06:002010-04-03T13:26:50.589-06:00THERE IS ONE SUPREME POWER CALLED "GOD"....THERE IS ONE SUPREME POWER CALLED "GOD".

THE TORAH IS ACTUAL TRUTH ON HOW TO LIVE LIFE. PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO FIT THE "MOLD" OR FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS "CHANGE IT TO FIT THEM" AND TRY TO MAKE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE FOLLOW THEIR BELIEFS.<br /><br />THERE IS ONE TRUE BELIEF...STUDY TORAH...STUDY THE BIBLE...LEARN FOR YOUR SELF AND THEN ATTEND THE SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH OF LIKE THINKING INDIVIDUAL, WHO ARE ON YOUR LEVEL OF THINKING. LIFE IS A JOURNEY AND AS YOU GROW, YOU WILL MOVE INTO DIFFERENT AREAS AND ASPECTS OF LIVING. KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, DON'T CHANGE HIS TEACHINGS AND YOU WILL FIND HAPPINESS, PROTECTION, LOVE AND PROSPERITY. THERE IS A LESSON ON EVERY ISSUE OF LIFE IN THE TORAH AND BIBLE. RESEARCH FOR YOUR SELF...DON'T FOLLOW MAN'S RULES..BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS CHANGING TO "FIT" MAN, NOT "GOD".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-68810796642278720712010-04-03T07:05:46.644-06:002010-04-03T07:05:46.644-06:00Mishegas!

To be brutally honest - with some rare exceptions - most Seminary graduates are amazingly ignorant. <br /><br />The only possible conclusion is that most of them were either asleep or allowed to 'coast' through the courses, or the published curriculum is merely a cover story. Perhaps a little of both. <br /><br />What they seem to know (from observation & overheard conversations) is 'priest culture'. What they can get away with under Canon Law. How to do creative accounting with parish finances. Favorite worldly pursuits. The overall prevalant attitude is that of a privileged, private men's club. <br /><br />It seems that they are educated in sound bytes. They know just enough key buzzwords, catchphrases, & quotes to do on-upmaship on the average Catholic. That is neither the product of education nor of genuine spiritual direction. It is the training of a Facilitator. <br /><br />A quick example is Fr. George Rutler of EWTN fame. If you can bear to listen to him - do so. His shows are a stream of....one-liners. Disconnected bits of impressive intellectual trivia. But, would you entrust the care of your soul to the man?<br /><br />And yet his level of education is far above most. <br /><br />"Training parrots & puppets"..indeed! Clerical 'success' is directly proportional to the level of obedience uber alles. <br /><br />Yes - you are right: the World Court can indict a head of state. They may regret having made the Lateran Treaty of 1929. <br /><br />...and that the official age of sexual consent in the Vatican City State for either gender/sexuality.....is 12. <br /><br />Anon Y.

Certainly the church is in violation of the UN Convention on Human Rights. <br /><br />That the church does not really train priests in ethics, but rather in obedience to authority is part of the problem here. There is no sense of ethics even in adult so-called "consensual" relationships, whether same-sex or opposite-sex. For a priest can never offer commitment and thus is "using" the person, irregardless of whether the person starts out feeling used. <br /><br />It is both a breakdown in morality and a failure to provide training in ethical thinking - something we therapists work on constantly. It's really horrifying that a hierarchy that purports to be led by God would neglect training for making moral/ethical decisions. Instead, appearing to train parrots and puppets. Once this is clear to the world, I wonder how long it will be before the World Court begins to accumulate evidence for indictments. They CAN indict a head of state. They've done it before!TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-42034477668998490802010-04-02T16:14:42.632-06:002010-04-02T16:14:42.632-06:00TheraP -

I have no clue, but that would make sense. <br /><br />Yet it points up the enforced immorality in the 'priest culture'. It is Ecclesiastical Freemasonry. You do not inform on a 'brother'. That is their culture, backed by Canon Law. <br /><br />Just try to discuss the abuse issue with the average priest. You will see the face tighten, the obvious display of nerves....even if he is personally innocent. As he realizes he must both lie to you & try to derail the conversation. I have seen this in person & it is very sad. <br /><br />I believe the 'smoking gun' in re the church policies are in Canon Law & the documents affirming it signed by Ratzginer's CDF office in his tenure. <br /><br />Anon Y.

And then they Vatican sticks their foot in their mouth in playing the 'we disavow it' routine. <br /><br />There are only two possibilities:<br /><br />a) they are so completely inept as to let this priest say embarrassing things over & over....OR<br /><br />b) this is staged plausible deniability. They are denying responsibility for his words....which they knew he was going to say in the first place. <br /><br />Choose one:)<br /><br />Anon Y.

This is true in most states. But you do not have to give your name. You can report, just as you write here, anonymously.<br /><br />For any organization to specifically teach and compel it's adherents to break the law is abominable! And that in itself should be cause for criminal action against the church.<br /><br />This is the case only if the person is still a minor.TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-53901294929693607392010-04-02T15:57:49.666-06:002010-04-02T15:57:49.666-06:00The Vatican is pouring gasoline on the flames!!!

Because 'company policy' in the Church organization requires me by Canon Law to be silent about the malfeasance of my brother priests. <br /><br />I cannot report an abuser to the police or local DA as I should - by most state laws & by obvious morality. I must remain silent. I have to shake his hand & pretend to be fraternally supportive. <br /><br />It does not matter if I am his superior, or he is mine. I have to shut my mouth & eyes. I have to LIE. <br /><br />Priests who HAVE spoken up, reported offenders (even within church channels), or been supportive to victims & their families have been treated as criminals by Church authority figures. Ostracised, censured, demoted. Scorned by their fellow priests for 'breaking the Black Wall of Silence". <br /><br />Similarly, laity who have spoken up & tried to help victims have been horribly brutalized by their fellow lay Catholics...AND the clergy/hierarchy. <br /><br />Abuser Priests who were removed from ministry - and then returned to active duty (often as the Chancery's shark lawyers forced the victims to give up persueing the matter, in tears) - are joyously welcomed back to their parishes. Hailed as 'those who have suffered like Christ". <br /><br />Uh-huh...'they' suffered. Not the shattered victims.....<br /><br />Christ is & shall allow the Crucifixion & Death of His Mystical Body, the Church. The good will suffer along with the bad. <br /><br />The good have already suffered much. Either vicariously, or by being effectively shut out of parishes now dominated by Opus Dei, the Legion of Christ, Neo-Catechumenals, et. al. Or because they spoke up about the abuses (of ALL kinds). <br /><br />If there is a public backlash against the Church Administration, then even the good shall suffer. As they will be identified (wrongly) as being at one with the evildoers. <br /><br />As to the Church Administration, Christ foretold what shall be:<br /><br />"For I say you are the sons of they who killed the prophets....that I sent to you.....therefore, upon you shall fall all the just blood spilled upon the earth......Not one stone shall be left upon another. <br /><br />Behold: your house shall be left to you, desolate"<br /><br />Anon Y.
