    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    I've read a lot of statistics and I haven't found one that says otherwise. Sorry, but it is true.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    There is not a shred of evidence that priests are more tempted because they are celibates. Anglicans can "marry" in same sex unions so using a fallen church as a yard stick makes no sense. We've had celibates since the 11th century so why do you think all of a sudden there is a problem? Could...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    80% of all sex scandals involve homosexuals, why do you cover for them with a mis-label of pedophilia, phonyman? Sex with teenagers is not pedophilia, it's called homosexuality. Looks like you are covering up for them.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    Your Catholic bashing has no source. Richard Sipe is an angry ex-priest and a liar. Richard Sipe EXPOSED : Ex-priest has history of dubious facts : A.W. Richard Sipe Thomas Doyle is a dissident and a psychotic bigot. THE WAR AGAINST CARDINAL PELL So much for your reliable sources.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    Protestants ‘Worse’ Than Catholics On Abuse Amazing words from one of Billy Graham’s grandsons, a Liberty University law professor who investigates sexual abuse among Evangelicals. There Is More Sexual Abuse In The Protestant Churches Than Catholic StopBaptistPredators.org You're a Baptist...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    First of all, the latest report on this subject is found in the 2016 Annual Report on the Implementation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. It covers the period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. So why did Schlumpf cite the audit from the year before? Because she...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    1985? Wow, you are so up-to-date. Guess what phoneman. The sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church ended, it fizzled out some 20 years ago. But you don't care about that, and you don't care that the sex abuse crisis has never stopped in your church; you don't get the same media attention...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Where in scripture does it say that everything must be explicitly found in scripture to be valid? (practices, devotions, doctrines) NOWHERE! It's a false man made tradition!

    Should Priests Get Married?

    What has been posted from scripture is biased and inaccurate. Celibacy is only a requirement for the Latin (Roman) rite. If a seminarian wants to marry, he can join a rite that permits it, or become Protestant. Celibacy is Church Practice, Not Dogma Matt. 19:11-12 – Jesus says celibacy is a...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    After all your scripture ranting maybe you can tell us the name of Jesus' wife. And Paul's wife while yer at it. Are you aware there are good Traditions we are to follow and bad traditions we must not? Looks to me you emphasize only bad traditions. That's not what the Bible says about...

    The Inquisitions

    There were many heresies. Do you mean the ones that denied Christ's identity? How were secular powers used to combat heresy? What about the sabbitarian cults (SDA, JW) we have today (even running loose on this forum); is there a secular power combating them that no one knows about except you...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    The only person abrogating God's laws is you and your man made sabbitarian cult. I obliterated your nonsense about the 10 commandments being changed, you just refuse to read the facts. I've seen your kind before, I will not be led into pointless circles, especially with your Judaizing that was...

    graven image?

    You anti-Catholics get real boring with your worn out slaughter mantra; it's always asserted but never proven. Now we are guilty of killing our own children. I am not talking about Adam and Eve. This is from that blinding link that you refused to read: Faith and reason are like two wings on...

    Jesus never said he was God Almighty

    No one can proof-text Christ's divinity; you either believe it or you don't.

    graven image?

    Sorry your prejudice prevents you from seeing the difference between adoring and bowing. Please grow a brain cell. If a priest was found guilty of teaching children to worship statues, he would be defrocked and thrown out of the priesthood. Faith and reason are compatible where I come from, I...

    Are you catholic?

    So was I. I didn't abandon Peter because of Judas.

    Are you catholic?

    Empty envelops results in being forbidden to attend Catholic schools? Envelopes had no pre-glue sealants? Giving the story the benefit of the doubt, was the OP ever reprimanded for stealing? Is stealing envelop money permissible in Protestant churches? If it is not, why blame the Catholic Church...

    Once Saved....always Saved - Results of Questionnaire.

    Heb. 11:6 – faith is indeed the minimum requirement without which we cannot please God. But this is just the beginning of the process leading toward justification. Faith alone does not justify a person. Justification is only achieved by faith and works, as we see below. Also, this gratuitous...

    Why I could personally never chose to be Catholic

    65. Classical Protestantism and Calvinism, teach falsely that Jesus died only for the elect (i.e., those who will make it to heaven). 66. Classical Protestantism (especially Luther), and Calvinism, deny natural theology, and tend to dichotomize reason against God and faith, contrary to...
