Catholic bishops warned in '50s on abusive priests

The founder of a religious order that treats Roman Catholic priests who molest children concluded in the 1950s that offenders were unlikely to change and should not be returned to ministry, according to his letters, which were obtained by plaintiffs' lawyers.

They swept this under a rug like they sweep the true word of the bible under a rug. It figures. Evil lurkes inside this man made religion.

[The Church sucks]

The problem is that some of the Bishops were the biggest child molesters of all! They should change it to the Roman Diddler Church

why Catholic view sex as sacred.

Priests should be allowed to marry, this is a simple solution, but they don't want to talk about it. They told me it's a money matter not spiritual. if they have a family they have to support the wife and kids and this will bring more complains about how much money they will spent.Every thing is about money for the church, The Vatican is the richest country in the world .!

Pedophilia is an incurable disorder, and the priests know it, not all homosexuals have it, a heterosexual married man can suffer from that and he will abuse his own children, The public have to be educated about mental disorders.. The church has to change the old fashion ways of dealing with child molestation

[fed up with the mess]

Priests are human beings with desires and needs like any other breathing person, so ,why try to negate the most important part of the human soul witch is a physical company of another human being. and don't ignore the physical cry of having sex in the open with a woman or a man. but the hypocresy is the one I have problem with!

catholic hypocresy that is....... catholics think that priest are GOD.

[P Smith]

Vindictive, the current pope, wrote two laws a few years ago that were enacted by Pope John Pedophile:

1) "Two tykes and you're out" - priests can be caught molesting one kid, but not two.

2) People who complain to the police about pedopriests are "excommunicated", i.e. sentenced to hell.

This is par for the course with cultholicism.

And as for the garbage about 'celibacy is a gift from "god"', there was no celibacy in the catholic cult until the 11th century. Before that, marriages were normal among priests, and concubines (multiple female sex partners) were commonplace for bishops, cardinals and even popes.

[Real life]

The RCC
(1)The RCC teaches that it is the only true Christian Church when history, scriptures and facts clearly show it was and is not. Thus that falsehood stands between the RCC and all other Christians including the older Christian Churches.
(2)If you pray to God you do not need any dead person past or present to interceed on your behalf except the Christian High Priest Jesus Christ if you ask in his name. The earthly Priesthood of the RCC creates this false dogma for its own self importance.

Roman Catholic Church believes many false doctrines that are contrary to the Bible, and were unknown to the early Church. The Roman Catholic Church has developed many doctrines which cannot be remotely proven from the Bible. For example, the Assumption of Mary. Catholics, since childhood are taught that to get to heaven one must keep the sacraments, the mass, and do good works. This is different from the Bible's definition of the Gospel.
The Catholic "Gospel" leaves Christ out. It teaches people that if they perform well enough such things as : attending mass, partaking of sacraments, praying to Mary (saying the "Hail Mary"), confessing sins to a priest, doing good works etc, they may eventually pass through the fires of purgatory after hundreds of years to then enter heaven.

In the Bible, all ministers are called elders, bishops or pastors, all referring to the one office, but there is no office of "priest". Christ is our Great High Priest, the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), so there is no need for other priests to mediate for us. Peter never called himself a priest, but did call himself a "fellow elder". 1 Peter 5:1. A pastor's real job is to preach the gospel, teach the Word of God and pray, not to hear confession, or change bread to flesh etc. Peter in 1 Peter 5 when he instructed fellow preachers, made no mention of any Roman Catholic priest's practices of today.
PAPAL INFALLIBILITY (declared in 1870 AD). When a pope is speaking in his official position on any issue of faith or morals, he is speaking infallibly, meaning without error. The apostles never regarded any man to be infallible, only the Word of God is regarded as without error. If Peter was pope, which the Bible says he was not, then he made mistakes as in Galatians 2:11-14 when he was deceived by Judaizers. "But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed."
The Roman Catholic Church cannot clearly and easily show its history before 320 AD, when the Roman Emporer Constantine professed conversion, amalgamated pagans and Christians, and declared himself to be the head or pontif of the Universal (Catholic) Church.

…but decided that to make it public knowledge would have been 'bad for business'.

All religions are businesses, and churches are franchise operations.

This is why they so much hate competition from other religions in the same way Wall Street corporations hate competition: it means profits are going into other business's coffers instead of their own.

polygamy

[Bob _Fairfield]

Leopards do not change their spots! When they knew the priests liked sex with children, they should have bit the bullet and had them arrested and stopped. Instead they let the pedofiles carry on their quest for new victims by transferring, hiding and were too ashamed to air the dirt and scum out of the closets. All those innocent children, at least some of them, could have been spared the pain and humiliation of molestation. The money the church paid can never buy back their innocence. The church committed the gravest sin of all, as they forgot that children are a gift straight from God. They were put on this earth to be loved and nurtured and protected, as all children should be in a perfect world. Judgement day is coming, and the church, and all who allowed this to go on will rot in hell!
