OK, let's take the case of Pennsylvania, where an actual official report has been filed:

• Parishes with Resident Pastor who is a Religious Priest: 73*
• TOTAL = 849

• Percentage of predators = 300/849 = 35.4%
• Cases not reported or covered up = Who knows

Now is more than 1/3rd "a very small percentage"?

You and every Catholic should be outraged that even 0.5% exists. Instead you call me stupid and moronic. So who's the moron?

Breath of Life is a typical papist that employs the time tested tactic of "deny, deny, deny" - not because the papacy is innocent of any charges, but because Protestantism grows more and more ignorant of papal error and accepting of papal ecumenism with each passing year.

…

Over a period of time, the church had developed a complex theology of purgatory — an intermediate state in which the souls of believers were purged of their remaining sin in order to enter into the presence of God without stain or defect of any kind.

A TWISTED teaching.

I have no problem with the term "an intermediate state....for living souls departed out of physically dead bodies" ....

Clearly from the time Jesus taught His Doctrine, He revealed Living Souls of ALL men, whose Body had Physically Died; such Living Souls were IN Hell; Divided; some in comfort with Faith-FULL Abraham and other Believing Living Souls; And all other Living souls WHO had rejected God...were in torments, separated from God.

Praying FOR the Dead?
Dead bodies?
Living souls, separated from God, called Dead?

WHY?
Does anything in Scripture TEACH, Unsaved SOULS IN HELL..."BECOME" SAVED "IN HELL" ?

This idea of an “intermediate state” could be traced back to the sixth century, although its elaboration is particularly linked with the later Middle Ages. By the early sixteenth century, a popular theology of purgatory had emerged that emphasized both the extended nature and the horrors of this refinement in purgatory —

The (so called) "intermediate state"...
Is Taught in Scripture....

The WHY is taught in Scripture...
Col 1:17
He (Jesus) IS "BEFORE" all things.

The Living Souls of the Faithful could NOT ASSEND UP TO be with God "IN HEAVEN",
Until "AFTER" Jesus' Soul Assended UP TO Heaven.

Expressly taught....Living souls of the Faithful were IN Comfort with Abraham....WAITING.

And the Living souls of the UN-faithful were IN Torments.......ALSO in WAITING....
Waiting "FOR Jesus" ? YES, "WHEN" the Son of Man SHALL RETURN for "the Judgement of THEIR SOULS". (Uh, that has NOT YET come to pass).

One such accelerated pathway was based on prayer for the dead by the living. Throughout Europe, a whole system of intercessory foundations was created to offer prayers for souls in purgatory, including trentals (cycles of thirty requiem masses) and obits (a yearly memorial service). Chantries were established in order to ensure regular prayer for those who had died

13

PRAYING FOR THE DEAD?
DEAD bodies?
Souls separated from God?

WHY?
Individuals make Choices/Commitments FOR their bodies and souls....WHEN their own BODY is ALIVE.

WHERE Did Jesus TEACH, MEN "MAKE" choices/commitments "FOR OTHER MEN"...TO BE SAVED? TO BE BORN AGAIN?....Converted?

Most people rather liked this idea, seeing it as a clever way of enjoying sin without having to worry too much about its alleged eternal consequences.

IF a majority of men were TAUGHT, "praying for the "dead", was a "CLEVER WAY" to continue IN SIN, while alive in their flesh body....simply reveals the Clerics FAILED in teaching the TRUTH of Jesus' Doctrine.

Because the TRUTH IS:
A Converted man HAS WILLINGLY GIVEN "control of their LIFE to the INDWELLING POWER OF GODS SPIRIT".

Seriously?? The Indwelling Power of God, yeilds to the Corrupt ideas of the Carnal Mind?

It does appear what was taught long ago in some denominations....continues.

Hell "WAS" a WAITING place for ALL living souls departed out of their dead bodies.

Since Jesus' intended accomplishments WERE Finished...
Hell "IS" a WAITING place for ALL living souls departed out of their dead bodies...."WHO CHOSE" TO "REJECT" God, WHEN they were IN their living flesh bodies.

God Bless,

Eh...Worldly teaching is "to BE TOLERANT and ACCEPTING" of ALL others.

I don't think it is exclusive to "protestants" being tolerant and accepting of All others.

It is societies of men that Teach the doctrines and commandments of men;
TO Tolerate, Accept and Encouragement of men to be Yoked with other men Who are Against The Word of God.

The Lord Taught to Love ones Enemy.
He did not Teach to Tolerate, Accept or be yoked with their enemy.

Nor did He Teach to allow them in your meeting place or home To give them opportunity To Teach, To Convince, others To Tolerate, Accept, or be Yoked with them.

And if you had bothered to do some ACTUAL homework on this subject - you wouldn't look so foolish.
However - nothing can help that now . . .

What was recently reported in Pennsylvania took place over a period of 75 years. That's SEVENTY FIVE YEARS.
Many of the suspects and victims DEAD. This was NOT a large percentage, given the time frame.

Anyway - WHY do you ignorantly think that this is just a "Catholic" problem when the statistics show a LARGER number of molestation cases STILL going on among the PROTESTANT sects - FAR more than .05%?? Your OWN Protestant brothers and sisters admit this in the headline.
Why can't YOU??

Well alrighty then.... LOL
What you have exposed is those who do not agree with You, You declare ARE Liars!
What you do not get is: People ARE putting their interest in being in agreement with Christ...and find your tactics as laughable.

Wow - another lie . . .

First of all - I haven't called anybody a "Liar".

Secondly - I have stated - ad nauseam - that those who simply "disagree" with the Catholic Church are not necessarily anti-Catholic telling lies.

WRONG

Your fellow Catholic-hater, Enoch stated that we Catholics should get busy ridding the Church of EVERY priest – from the Pope on down. NOT every priest has been accused – only a SMALL percentage. This is the kind of ignorant manure that YOU and Enoch and Phoneyman and the rest of geniuses on this board like to regurgitate – while your OWN pastors and ministers are diddling YOUR children with impunity.

Finally – as to your last idiotic comment in RED – I have GREAT disdain for any priest who has taken part in this scandal.

I ALSO have EQUAL disdain for the Protestant clergy that is doing the same thing. HOWEVER – my greatest disdain is reserved for the hypocritical anti-Catholic Protestants like YOU and the others I mentioned because you don’t care that it’s going on in your OWN back yard . . .

Pointing out that YOU are ignorant of Catholic teaching is a fact – NOT a “name”.
CALLING you an “ignoramus” is name-calling. You REALLY should learn the difference.

One is an adjective, while the other is a noun.
Didn’t you EVER take an English class in school??

As for lying – ARE you a liar? Have you ever lied?? Does that make you a “Liar”?

If so – you’re just like that Pharisees wo accuses Christ of gluttony and drunkenness.

[Uisdean]

… to have discovered a recently written book concerning the development of Protestantism.

Here is just a tiny excerpt from that book:

THE TRIGGER FOR LUTHER’S REFORM: THE “INDULGENCE” CONTROVERSY

The event that is traditionally held to mark the beginning of the European Reformation, and hence the birth of Protestantism, took place at about midday on October 31, 1517, on the eve of All Souls’ Day. Martin Luther, a lecturer in biblical studies at the recently founded University of Wittenberg, nailed a piece of paper to the main north door of the castle church of that city. The paper fluttered in the wind alongside various other academic and civic notices, probably attracting little attention at first.

Luther’s notice was a request to debate a series of theological propositions about the practice of “indulgences.” Such debates were a regular part of the academic life of the day and rarely attracted attention beyond the limited confines of the universities. There is no evidence that his attempt to arrange a routine debate attracted any interest within the University of Wittenberg, or any attention from a wider public. It was only when Luther circulated his demands more widely that controversy began to develop.

So, what was the issue at stake? The immediate cause was the visit of Johann Tetzel to Luther’s hometown of Wittenberg to sell indulgences, partly in order to raise capital for the rebuilding of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Occupying something of a theological gray area, indulgences were popular without being entirely theoretically respectable. If there was a theological foundation to the notion, it lay in the idea that through their exemplary actions, Jesus Christ and the saints of the church had built up a “treasury of merit” on which pious Christians could draw, as and when necessary.

Over a period of time, the church had developed a complex theology of purgatory — an intermediate state in which the souls of believers were purged of their remaining sin in order to enter into the presence of God without stain or defect of any kind. This idea of an “intermediate state” could be traced back to the sixth century, although its elaboration is particularly linked with the later Middle Ages. By the early sixteenth century, a popular theology of purgatory had emerged that emphasized both the extended nature and the horrors of this refinement in purgatory — and at the same time offered a number of fast tracks through the process.12

One such accelerated pathway was based on prayer for the dead by the living. Throughout Europe, a whole system of intercessory foundations was created to offer prayers for souls in purgatory, including trentals (cycles of thirty requiem masses) and obits (a yearly memorial service). Chantries were established in order to ensure regular prayer for those who had died.13 The expenses attending such cults of the dead were considerable, a fact reflected in the rise of religious fraternities dedicated to the provision of the appropriate rites of passage for their members. In times of economic hardship, at least some degree of anticlerical sentiment was thus an inevitability: the clergy could be seen as profiting from the anxiety of the impoverished living concerning their dead kinsfolk.

It was, however, a second fast track through purgatory that aroused Luther’s ire. Although the theological foundations of the practice were highly questionable (it was abolished by Pope Pius V in 1567), the church began to finance military campaigns and the construction of cathedrals through the sale of “indulgences,” which reduced the amount of time spent in the torment of purgatory. Johann Tetzel was a shrewd marketer and knew how to sell his product. He had crafted a catchy slogan, making the merits of his product clear even to the simplest of people:

As soon as the coin in the coffer rings,
The soul from purgatory springs!

The canny spiritual investor could thus ensure that both he and his relatives (assuming, of course, that his budget stretched that far) could miss out on the pains of purgation. Aware of the wide appeal of his product, Tetzel had developed an additional crafty marketing technique. The cost of an indulgence was tailored to individuals’ ability to pay as much as to the spiritual benefits they hoped to secure.

Most people rather liked this idea, seeing it as a clever way of enjoying sin without having to worry too much about its alleged eternal consequences. Any extended experience of purgatory was strictly for those who failed to plan for the future. Yet Luther was appalled by the practice. Forgiveness was meant to be the free gift of God! For Luther, the indulgence controversy was a worrying symptom of a much deeper malaise — a loss of the foundational vision that lay at the heart of the gospel. How could the church claim to be Christian when it seemed, at least to Luther, to have lost sight of the most important of all Christian insights — that God offers salvation as a free gift? The sale of indulgences seemed to deny the essence of the Christian gospel, as Luther now understood it. And if the church denied the gospel, was it really a Christian church at all?

You know, I don't see the name of the book, or who wrote it. Could you supply that? Thanks.

This is the kind of ignorant manure that YOU and Enoch and Phoneyman and the rest of geniuses on this board like to regurgitate –

You call us geniuses for speaking of the sick abuses your Priests have for YEARS engaged in and covered up, as directed BY the Church.

You should be angry....and pay attention to WHO should be the Cause of your anger....

Because it is NOT Protestant clery abusing and covering up abuses of Catholics!

while your OWN pastors and ministers are diddling YOUR children with impunity.

No doubt taking advantage of children is not LIMITED to any particular era, race, religion, school, caretaker, etc.

IMO, Catholics have been DUPED into believing taking a problem with a Catholic Priest to a partial Catholic Bishop.... would actually resolve the problem.
It isn't a spiritual problem and routinely it was covered up.

Protestants on the other hand I would say are more likely to take the civil problem to an impartial civil authority.

Finally – as to your last idiotic comment in RED – I have GREAT disdain for any priest who has taken part in this scandal.

So?

It has been going on for years and covered up for years BY THE VERY CHURCH Leaders you call HOLY.

I ALSO have EQUAL disdain for the Protestant clergy that is doing the same thing.

And So? No one is saying whoo hoo, yeah, when the occasional scandal comes to our attention of a Protestant Clergy.

What you don't get is .... It has been revealed numerous times concerning Catholic Priests.... that now it is a REPUTATION.... and once a Reputation is formed....every Priest in the whole lot is suspect.

Even your own Church has recognized "the REPUTATION in the Public eye of Catholic Priests....and has tried in recent years to make "rules" that Priests could not be ALONE with Children.....

Rules are fun, but not always followed....
Testosterone sometimes supersedes "rules".

HOWEVER

– my greatest disdain is reserved for the hypocritical anti-Catholic Protestants like YOU and the others I mentioned because you don’t care that it’s going on in your OWN back yard . . .

Stop your whining. Go scour the news and police reports.....maybe you can find a Protestant Clergy you can reveal to the forum is not upstanding and let others speak for themselves concerning the report.

Just like you speak, saying you have distain for Catholic Priests in the current scandal....
But, but, but, with a tinge of disgusting....
Implication of it's irrelevance....ie it being a "small percentage'. UGH!
