Believe it or not, the sexual preferences of priests doesn't come up too often. The people who claim to know tons of gay priests are about as honest as the ones that know conservative trannies.
they are either gay, or have some type of severe mental illness

You're an expert on mental illness

I get that. What I was saying in that specific post is that I believe many priests who have pedophilic or even homosexual urges may have not acted on them before entering the priesthood. I believe many are troubled by these urges, and they enter the priesthood in hopes of ridding those urges. That doesn’t work. The urges continue and become stronger, especially with trustful easy targets around them. It is later that they act on them.

I guess the Muslims got one thing right, yea?

Every time somebody starts a thread about anything involving religion around here, the end result is that the thread is always de-railed and ends up turning into an all out very hateful attack against one particular religion.

I’m sure the fig will sue and get a bunch of money.

Not really. Religion exists to give weak-minded people meaning. frick 'em all.

This teacher did not follow his legally binding contract. That’s what the deal is. If he would not be gay, this wouldn’t even be something discussed.
The teacher didn't hurt anyone, he gets fired. Priests who frick children aren't fired. Why not? Just because they didn't break some written contract? That's complete horseshite. You can't rationally defend firing the gay teacher and keeping the pedophile priests.

I wouldn't even mind the hate if it came from a place of intelligence. People get so worked up they just start vomiting retardation and the lack of logic pisses me off more than these douchebags calling a billion people a pedo or whatever the frick they think.

Sometimes these threads bring about intelligent discourse, and sometimes it brings out the loons.(shrugs)
So in other words, like every other thread here.

The question is, is it meaningless to you that pedophile priests were not fired, but were instead just shuffled around? Band directors have to abide by strict morals, but priests don't?
The church is hiding behind a morality clause in one case, while protecting immoral priests in others. If you can't see the hypocrisy, I can't help you.

Loons are OK, but, we don't need to make Tigerdroppings into a group that targets any group whatsoever for endless, relentless and strong antipathy.
Radical Islam stands on its own and in the open about what they believe. This group welcomes the antipathy because the "haters" are all infidels. We don't have to tell lies and distortions about Radical Islam in order to generate antipathy. Any reasonable person is going to feel antipathy towards Radical Islam.
I'm just hoping that we can all remind ourselves to try to be reasonable.

You were talking about rape and murder yesterday. You are the king of unreasonable in here. Are you kidding?

You were talking about rape and murder yesterday.
It was an historical quote from a people who had been oppressed by the Catholic Church for a thousand years. They knew what it was like to live in a religious state. You don't.
Besides, it's a funny quote. I was first made aware of it in a History class at LSU in 1986.

So you rely on reason and not faith? It's interesting how you didn't address that part of my post. You just sort of left that comma hanging there...
But your refusal to acknowledge that the band director was fired for being immoral - even though he didn't hurt anyone - while there are priests who have raped children and have not been fired by the Church, but instead have been protected, speaks to your lack of reasonability. It's absurd. And it's that absurdity that I enjoy poking at.

quote:he broke his contract - my economics teacher in high school (I went to an all girls catholic high school in Nola) was fired for living with her boyfriend - none of us were hurt, but she didn’t follow the rules, so she was fired.
The teacher didn't hurt anyone, he gets fired.
quote:plenty are - yes, many were shuffled around and there are horrible stories involving priests & nuns & teachers - but many were fired but the media doesn’t focus on that. Yes, there was a giant cover up - and the church is making huge reparations for that. The church is also making huge reparations for the millions of volunteers that molested and raped children. Many organizations are.
Priests who frick children aren't fired.
quote:most of the pedophile priest cases are from way before this man signed his contract. It may be putting the cart before the horse but the cover up and hiding of pedophile priests rarely exists anymore. Most accused priests that are living are not serving at the present time. It’s naive to think the church doesn’t take what happened in the past seriously. This teacher didn’t take his contract seriously - both are grave mistakes.
You can't rationally defend firing the gay teacher and keeping the pedophile priests.
I’m sorry you have such a disdain for organized religion - which has been around in some form since time began. I pray your soul finds the healing it needs.

Read the thread before you talk to me, you mutt. In fact I'm pretty sure you responded to my initial post siding with the band director.

es, and also outing the school for knowing he was gay for the many years he worked there.

It's hypocritical to protect them and fire the teacher - regardless of what you think of the media.

Oppression has been around since time began as well. Coincidence?
Humans believed all kinds of stupid shite 5,000 - 10,000 years ago.
We're supposed to know better by now.

I don't believe you've ever actually prayed for my soul.
But the fact remains, the Catholic Church is in a major decline.

Your solution is backwards. You don’t allow more homosexuals into the church (and schools). You rid yourself of the homosexuals.
Priests didn’t molest boys because they were priests. They did it because they were gay and infiltrated the priesthood.
No question that those who harmed children should be punished fully. And those that hid it or protected the guilty should be punished fully.
