Opinion of the Roman Catholic Church

[fezzyfestoon]

One of the most hypocritical, damaging, and perverted (in several senses) established churches from the bottom up.

Dedication to welfare yet they own a country worth billions in tourist attractions.  I wonder how many starving children they could feed if the worth of the Vatican was used for something worthwhile.

The bigger problem with the sex abuse isn't that it's happening but that it keeps happening and the Vatican's only response is to try and stop us from finding out.  That's not a solution.  It's an arrogant holier-than-thou (pardon the pun) attitude that they get away with!  They swear their victims to secrecy and just shift the abuser around to make sure nothing comes of it.  That's not a dedication to welfare and social justice.

But then they also waged war and killed up to 2 million people, so take that for what it's worth.

Well, I am a Roman Catholic....

So?  I'm a Republican.

Fezzy, are you referring to the justified response of islamic invasions of europe now called the crusades?

Really?  "They started it" is your justification?
