Honestly I don’t want the catholic church to support gay marriage because other people might think we are just like the catholic priests. When my partner and I have a child or children we’re still discussing how many he wants one or none and I want three. I am certainly never letting any of my future children near a catholic priest, that’s for sure.

The church just *refuses* to acknowledge any authority other than themselves…it’s more important to them to retain power/control than it is to protect children. Ugh!

The pope’s brother is a Nazi thug, just like all church officials.

The catholic church will scapegoat and witch hunt the gay priests and seminarians in response. Won’t solve a thing.

The Catholic Church is a JOKE! They preach only hate and intolerance. They are against Equal Marriage Rights; yet allow PEDOPHILIA, CHILD ABUSE and LYING to further their AGENDA! SHAME ON THE POPE. Where is the apology to these victims and their families????

And don’t forget that the current pope was an active member of Hitler’s youth.

Next time the Catholic Church is trying to stop marriage equality in some state we need to run adds about how messed up they are.

Just google catholic church abuse and you will see it is happening all over the world.

And the church scapegoated gays. But the USA church’s multimillion dollar investigation by a semi independentgroup said it was due to a breakdown in discipline. And that the abuse level was the same re gay vs str8 priests.

And the big question is why the church hid the abuse for generations, and simply moved the vile offenders to new locations, where they could continue their crimes.

My take on it – Priests bring in money and minds. And some of the criminal priests are now bishops, cardinals, and maybe even RATZInger himself.

Their back is too the wall. Their crimes over 1500 years – the crusades against the muslims, the 1000 year dark ages, the burning of maybe a million witches during wwii, and of course the catholic Hitler, who used the churches hatred of the Jews to get elected and give us WWII. And they have yet to excommunicate him.

Somewhere there is a catalyst that will wake up the majority of good catholics, and the church, as it is constituted, will go to the dust bin of history and horrors.

The educators should be angry, they have been betrayed, just liked the victims. I grew up catholic, went to mass and catholic school, it’s a wonder we survived. Whenever something “bad” happened in the parrish, it was “close the doors and close the blinds, so noone on the outside knows that we are not perfect”. We were taught to hide and keep quiet. I can’t tell you all of the skeletons that have come out of the closet since then, many are too hard to bring back up. I hope the victims get something out of this, but it won’t be trust or justification, it might just be acknowledgement or an explanation.
