Family != a hidebound and persistant organization like the vatican. Being part of a family does not grant the same level of culpability for that organization's actions as does being a cardinal or what have you, a member of the decision making organs of the church.

I'll grant you that megachurches are godawful and even the southern baptists at large have major issues. Catholicism doesn't have a monopoly on evil. What it does have is a structural corruption that none of the protestant churches can even hold a candle to. Evangelicals are crazy but they aren't covering up a worldwide pedophilia ring. Hell even scientologists can't indoctrinate, murder, and gently caress with peoples' lives fast enough to keep up, if only because there aren't enough of them.

it's a good drat thing that the church has a 100% monopoly on pedophiles and we've never seen any other old white men, ever, be found guilty of it or found examples of their powerful friends systematically using their power and influence to cover up for them

I went to catholic school for 13 years. It made me the atheist i am today.
In 5th grade there was a controversy that was swept under the rug. A priest was inviting the girls of my class to sit on his lap during confession.

From my scanty recollection, can a Catholic tell me what rite was done to me and my siblings? I was six. I am . . . no longer six, so details are scarce.

My parents took me to the Catholic church in town. The priest was happy, also both my parents. I don't remember any explanation that might have been given. It was just one more thing parents make you do and you have to go along with it. Priest had a low table with a brass bowl on it, and a little brass pitcher of something. I had to lean sideways over the bowl and he poured a few drops of something on my right(?) temple. No spills for the bowl to catch. All done. Repeat on sibling, age 3. Older sibs were done a different day.

So what was it? A Protestant told me it sounds like I was anointed, but she was from Charismatic sect so who knows how familiar she is with Catholicism. We didn't attend church much longer, Dad just gave us his own sermons for a few years before he got tired of it. Never confirmed any of us.

I was a senior in a catholic high school when the Boston Diocese molestation scandal broke nationwide. I got an in school suspension and had to help the secretaries in the front office during the afternoons and since they were all 120 year old nuns I had to work the fax machine and do the emails. Every now and then we'd get a fax from our own diocese about what to say to parents, the press or any students who had questions about what has happening. The best one we ever got was a fax about what could or could not be construed as innapropriate behavior. It was pretty basic stuff like " don't touch kid's penises or their butts" but the best one was " No suggestive dancing/lap dancing with students". I always wonder if at some point a priest threw on some Warrant and did a strip tease for an altar boy.

smdh at this fundamental misunderstanding of legal framework of the crusades vis a vis the HRE(otGN).

Maybe they could install Manuel Valls as an antipope and get a crusade or two going though.

WELCOME 666 TO 666 THE 666 CATHOLIC CHURCH!

I love the original caption on this btw. "Just the pope hanging out in front of a statue of 666Jesus666." :shrug:


Some papal sculptor just utterly nailed the soul of Pius 666 in this sculpture. Note the complete lack of one.

Anyway we all know about every single catholic priest's devotion to little boys but that's just the tip of the iceburg. Pick a century and I'll give you horrors to melt your loving brain. The whole mess is one giant pile of 666 and utter smallmindedness/selfishness going back nearly 666 loving years. The vatican should be carefully sacked (too much hidden history in there for 666 unfortunately) and all remaining non-monastic clergy monitored, merely as a housekeeping measure for the good of all mankind.

Keep it up guys, we're almost there. Hail Satan

"I've run the numbers with my pals at the Institute of Sola Scriptura Studies, and we feel that venerating people considered Good by the post-Bible agents of the LORD is unsound, because while it fits the biblical pattern entirely, very few of them from the last 1500 or so years seem to appear in the good book itself????

ours was fine. we had regular science classes or whatever, we just had some bizarre religious class that was taught by the luniest people they could find.

we had some woman who would stand in front of the class with her eyes closed talking about god's love, and whenever she couldn't think of an appropriate adjective she'd just make explosion noises.

in 5th grade we had a former lutheran priest who converted to catholicism (and got a special dispensation to keep his wife) come to talk to us about how our bodies were changing. they split the boys and girls up with a nun coming in to talk to the girls. apparently all they learned about was their periods. the guys were lectured about the evils of "playing with ourselves," and told it was a sin that would send us to hell.

maybe we were a late blooming group but there was maybe like one guy in there going through puberty and almost none of us had any idea what he was talking about. for like a week i would just sit in the living room next to my mom because i thought playing with legos would send me to hell.

that priest was later kicked out of the priesthood for banging some chick on the side.

my parents converted us to catholicism out of loving nowhere when i was in fifth grade. i think it was mainly for social reasons. also we had to leave private school and they got a tuition break at catholic schools if they were members in good standing, and god forbid we end up at public school.

anyway my mother who didn't know jack poo poo about religion was going through catechism classes while i was having my first religion classes. at one point i asked her what the differences were between the angels. she had no idea so she just told me "archangels do god's dirty work."

i got suspended when i said that in religion class and my mom totally threw me under the bus and denied it because she didn't want to piss anyone off :smith:

My catholic school education was alright. Nobody gave more than half a poo poo about the religion, the average atheist knows more scripture purely for the sake of arguing with people. I only went because it was the only private school near me that I could pull a scholarship to, and the most religious pressure they put me under was to not talk during mass. One upside was that the school had a focus on anti-racism, because the school's patron saint got holocausted.

We actually had a young priest. At some point in time he had been set on fire or something, he had burn victim skin from the chin down and had clearly had skin grafts because he looked all stitched together from squares, like Frankenstein's monster became a priest. He was alright, no molestation vibes at least.
