- Everyone has their own opinion on both subjects,usually not the same as the person standing next to them. While I have been talking the relion side now for awhile I do have to bring up a point. The victims in the church scandal did not ask to be molested, but every soldier that is fighting,right or wrong, for our country offered their services and know,or should have , the risks involved. thats all I got to say about that.

- The Catholic Chruch is an organization made for pedophiles.
Where else do you get to dress up every sunday in drag and surround yourself with fresh faced altar boys and girls!
The whole thing is as much a sham as the polygamists in Texas. - Reply to this comment
- The Pope''s public address of s e x abuse was bold and extraordinary. I can''t say that any of his Protestant counterparts, (since there are none) have exhibited the willingness to accept responsibility and initiate a process of healing and reconciliation.
At this point, it is clear that the same mentally ill listeners of the popular Protestant Evangelists are scrambling to find something else or someone esle to pick on.
The cry of many, who continually assail institutions that have admited their errors, are fast becoming the most dislikable people of this nation for their inability to forgive. Both religious and non-religious organizations have agreed that those unable to forgive are good candidates for mental disease.
Jurors have heard cases of victims of the s e x crimes and sympathized, but actually reduced the damage award citing that the victim elected not to participate in their healing, and prolonged their own personal suffering.
Pope Benedict shows that the Catholic church is reformable, but many critics have not demonstrated anything close to a desire to restore back to pre-offense conditions. - Reply to this comment
- I have absolutly no problem saying the pledge with God in it, I believe in Merry Christmas, I believe in nativity scenes and God on our money....and guess what? I am a ''non'' believer. why does everything have to become a battle . Pray if you want,maybe I will decide to join you, give of yourself to others and I will be right there besides you.We need to start believing in something other than ourselves, and if God is what helps,call him allah,budda what ever, it all comes down to the belief in a God.

- It''s hard to see what this dressed up cartoon has to do with the man called Jesus.
Jesus walked with sinners and fishermen. He derided the pharisees. He drove the thieves from the temple.
He was a man who lived his teachings.
Here''s a man who dressed in ridiculous garb, drives around in a bullet-proofed popemobile.
He presides over an organization of pedophiles.
And lives in the lap of luxury.
What does he have to do with Jesus? - Reply to this comment
- There is a moral lapse in our country. teenagers thinking it''''s cool to be ''''gay'''',although not really knowing what gay means, drugs,violence in the schools and in the streets. loss of jobs and in alot of cases hope. people forgetting their families for instant gratification.greed and a total lack of concern for others. sexual promiscuity, It''''s just all really ugly out there. And no , it isn''''t president Bush''''s fault,or the Popes or even the Muslims,jews,hindus, buddists ect. What is causing this is a lack of,if not religion, common decency. We are in BIG trouble folks and everyone had better wise up before it is too late. WE are doing it all to ourselves.

What you say is true, and in order to "wise up" we must put God back into the USA. - Reply to this comment

- Wondered how long it would take a Bush basher to say something silly.It is called diplomacy goof. As for the Catholic disease you obviously jest about,ther are plenty of protestants in our country,as well as Baptists,methodists,mormons..ect. Our countries problem is the fracturing of mainstream religions for the new age religions that only teach craziness and greed. What needs to happen, in my humble opinion is that religions should no longer be tax exempt, that will stop the goofy folk,and bring the basic religions back.

- Now the US has gone over to popery, apparently. What nations on earth are still strongly protestant? Scandinavia, maybe parts of Britain, some parts of Europe - isn''t it surprising that these are the exact countries with the highest standards of living, education, cleanliness, and science? Popery is a diseased form of religion. The percentage of Protestants in your population is the exact correlation of your standard of living as a nation.
Mexico - 100% popish, a poped Hell on earth
Canada - 50% Protestant, a decent place
You just examine ever country, the Protestant countries are decent and civilized, the pope loving countries are miserable.
Bush loves the pope though, so I guess we all have to bow to this figure. - Reply to this comment

Yeah...we''ll get rid of religion and then all our problems will be solved. It''ll be just like the guns. I should just give up my hunting rifle because criminals break the law. I should also never pray to anyone and never have a spiritual thought because there are people that are not sound of mind that can''t deal with that sort of thing.
You make a lot of sense. - Reply to this comment
- It is not a forgetfulness of God but a desire not to be associated with the church anymore.
It is my understanding that one of the earlier Popes was the one who declared that priests could not marry. Not devine intervention. Maybe this Pope will see his way clear to allow priests to marry. They are human and to deny these human needs is unnatural. Maybe then the Church will be able to put a halt to sexual abuse. - Reply to this comment

- Jesus admonished his disciples . . . to call "no man your father" yet millions of catholics call the pope, "Holy Father" I am persuaded that those who are popes or priests would do well to "care for the poor and orphans" Then they shall receive praise from God for loving His children. ALL Christians are priests unto God and yet we have learned not to accept praise or adoration from men but only from Jesus. If you desire to enter into Jesus glory in heaven, you must believe in the Lord Jesus and obey him only!!

- The Pope should gather all his s.e.x. abusing Bishops and Priest together in a stadium and do a mass Exorcism! They need it bad, catering to the flesh instead of the Holy Spirit ...

- As our nation declines, the people fall under the hypnosis of papistry. All the pretty robes and fancy Latin words, a mesmerizing un-religion.

- to bluebirds....that is the best thing I have seen yet. that is good that there is an orginization to help the victims. All the finger pointing in the world will do nothing but cause bad feelings and maybe all those that want big things done can help your group with vol. and donations. good luck to you and yours

- the catholic church is owned and operated by pedophiles.
The only thing they are sorry for, is that they got caught.
I can''''''''t wait until this world is free of organized religion. What grief it has caused.

If you''re that concerned about Pedophiles you better go after the public schools - They''re full of them. But you won''t. - Reply to this comment
