Any set of very specific ideas that you adopt based on blind faith alone are stupid. Is a burning bush more ridiculous than beings made of fire that haunt the planet? Is your soul entering another human being after your death a crazier idea than, say, thinking Earth was visited by Xenu in a DC-8-like spacecraft?

Point a few people as well as me will make. Society has police who will investigate and prosecution to take perps to court. The Catholic Church allows clergy to confess a sin and absolve the clergy of wrong doing. They may at best reassign the offending clergy to another parish. In some cases promote a bishop to a higher office. The Catholic Church even burns records and is best at covering up abuse issues. The Church will never report an offender to the law. One confession and the offender is pure as new fallen snow in the eyes of the church.

Then it must be valid. If you'd only made your point, it would be suspect, but since you specifically prefaced your post by saying other people agree with you, it automatically carries more weight. Imbecilic Rhetorical Devices 101.

> The Catholic Church allows clergy to confess a sin and absolve the clergy of wrong doing.

Right off the bat, a factual error. To be expected of course. Familiarize yourself with the Sacrament of Penance, how it works, and the road to absolution it may offer. Then we shall talk.

> One confession and the offender is pure as new fallen snow in the eyes of the church.

Repeating the exact same complete misunderstanding of "confession" in the Catholic Church doesn't make it any less false.

Always try to follow the most essential rule of human discourse, my child: educate yourself on a subject before speaking about it. And God bless you!

Someone else might be guilty too, so I'm innocent. Classic. I believe the next entry in the Catholic playbook is to show up with a list of kids that you didn't rape and wave it around like it's proof of your self-restraint.

No answer to the bizarre question "Wot (sic) about the 2022 years before last month?", no. I'm not sure what question you're asking about the year 3 BC, which was about 60 years before the creation of what can loosely be called the Catholic Church (St Peter becoming the first Pope).

And what's relevant is that you also have no idea why you're asking your question, because you don't have a basic level of knowledge of the subject (prove me wrong and answer - what's the relevance of 2022 years?). Therefore there is no sense in entertaining your addled senility.

2. You still haven't explained what you think the Catholic Church has to do with a time before Jesus had even been born, let alone given rise to Christianity.

Looked up what you said about the Pope.

"August 20, 2018"

Pope Francis acknowledged the “atrocities” committed by pedophile priests and the church hierarchy that systematically covered up their crimes, recognized the inadequacy of efforts “to beg pardon” and admitted that the victims’ “wounds never go away.”

This Pope has been in office for six years and admits he has systematically covered up their crimes. "August 20, 2018" and today March 19 2019. Children continue to be raped by Priests and the Pope said “atrocities”

I am impressed with the word “atrocities” Not exactly impressed with any 'Actions.'

Feb. 5, 2019, "Pope Francis for first time acknowledges sexual abuse of nuns by priests"
But scope of problem worldwide remains unclear as victims are reluctant to come forward and church leaders are slow to admit behavior of predator clergy.

Betting this Pope dies before a single child or Nun is protected.

"German Cardinal Reinhard Marx told Pope Francis and nearly 200 church officials meeting in Rome to discuss clerical sex abuse that church officials destroyed evidence or failed to even document accusations in the clerical sex abuse crisis. “Files that could have documented the terrible deeds and named those responsible were destroyed, or not even created,” he said during the morning working session in Rome. “Instead of the perpetrators, the victims were regulated and silence imposed on them. The stipulated procedures and processes for the prosecution of offenses were deliberately not complied with, but instead cancelled or overridden.” The admission comes on the last working day of the four-day conference which has focused on transparency and accountability of those accused in the cover up of decades of abuse against children, nuns and vulnerable adults at the hands of predator priests. Victim survivor groups have accused the church of destroying evidence and demanded that they open secret archives chronicling abuse accusations."

Claim is made by a top Cardinal who works at the Vatican. The Pope did not reject the claim.

Where in your quoted passage is your proof that "all records were destroyed"? It doesn't seem to be there.

Where in your quoted passage is your proof that those records "proved" that the Pope is a "pedophile"? It doesn't seem to be there.

Where in your quoted passage does it say that "The Pope did not reject the claim"? It doesn't seem to be there.

Regardless of the man's position, why have you decided that one man's unsubstantiated "claims" amount to "proof".

I shall await your answers to these 4 questions.

Please don't mistake people not buying your flailing excuses for a lack of understanding or education. It just means they see through your shitty rape apologetics.

Don't expect him to apologize for the church. He as other Catholics, only help cover up child abuse by the church. A rare Cardinal is an exception, along with some recent hot air by the Pope.

You have gone back to playing the Troll for the Church. Your education does not even permit you to read and understand any of this.

So you can't answer any of those 4 questions about where your proposed "proof" is. Ok thanks, that'll be all.

I just really like watching him cover his eyes and yell "PROOF? WHAT PROOF? I DON'T SEE ANYTHING!" The myriad of alleged sex scandals, admitted sex scandals, and criminal convictions are all equally hearsay in his world. There is no child sexual abuse going on in the Catholic Church... until he wants to pretend that they are leading the fight against child sexual abuse. Then apparently they are holding councils and having meetings and making strongly worded condemnations to combat this problem that never existed and there is no proof for according to him.

Also, it's fun watching him take the time to quote posts piecemeal so he can take things out of context and make little silly quips to pretend to be clever. I like to think we're keeping him busy so he can't bother other people.

You just keep repeating that like an idiot. You might not be making the points you think you're making or you might just suck at making points. Either way, I think the problem here is you.

Ssshhhhhh calm yourself, your frustration at not understanding simple arguments is causing you to lash out. I shall pray for God to assuage your anguish.

Yes. At least some little kid is safe for now.

So you're saying that when you are engaged in internet posting, no children are being abused. Congratulations, yet another self-own.

Still waiting on that "proof" you promised of "the Church destroyed all records"...

That you will no longer lust after children.

Your honesty is refreshing.

I don't think that's my problem. You might want to save those prayers for people who really need them. I think there are some clergy in Illinois who might be in need soon.

You "don't think"? One would hope you were sure. Prayers are still being sent your way.
