Pedophile priests: "War between the Church and the World; between Satan and God" - Bishop Says

[panzerfaust]

Actually what he says is that "... it {questioning the Papa's role in the coverup of priestly child abuse} marked the start of a war "between the church and the world; between Satan and God".

Apparently the problem is not the predatory, pedophile priests, and their shielding by The Church, but the fact that the world - "Satan" - is upset by both. It is not the abuse, it is the scandal; It is not the church's coverup, it is our discover that is the problem.

We should just leave it to God (ie The Holy Roman Catholic Church) to deal with. Just as in the Dark Ages, the Church should rule the world.

This is what is WRONG with religion: It is always on the side of The Lord, and the rest of us are deluded by Satan - even when the religion hides the destruction of children by its clergy.

Religion is a mental disease which leaves The Faithful with the delusion that the rest of the world is always wrong when it contradicts the teaching and leadership of any given religion.

Pedophiles are not "Evil," they are seriously mentally disturbed individuals who need to be kept away from children - that they do no further harm; away from the rest of society - so they do not come to harm themselves.

I perceive this as war between duty to the Church, and duty to God; and that the Catholic clergy has failed both miserably and systematically. If truly, as they claim, the choice is between Satan and Church, I then must stand with Lucifer - the Bearer of Light - on this issue of abusing children. No matter what the old white men in skirts have to say.

I think that Christ too would have been on the side of the children, not of the priests - which, in the view of at least one bishop, thus puts Christ on the side of Satan.

Pedophiles need to be locked up, not sent on in hidden silence to prey on more children as they come to pray.

1. Hey, Church, you calling all your critics satanic isn't working anymore

Maybe it's time to try something else, like maybe cooperating with the authorities for a change?

3. I wonder how many lives these sexually repressed "holy men" have ruined.

I suppose that would depend on how far back you want to go. Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? I guess the bible was right when it said "The sins of the fathers shall be visited onto the sons..." (my paraphrase). I think it said also that that sin would go to the 2nd and 3rd generations. There was something in that book worth paying attention to after all. I hope the fuckers go broke making it go away.

4. Catholic parishioners are enablers - they could shut the corrupt and criminal organization down...

By simply walking away.

6. Stop giving money, walk out, quit. Let the place fold. Fear is the only thing...

...that keeps people faithful to this corrupt outfit - same thing that keeps the teabaggers faithful to their cause.

Fear is how they control. They know that without it, they would have nothing.
