Or hang on ........ paedophiles, what about that? Shall we spotlight them too just so there's no one who feels left out. Fascism should be added to the litany of accusations against the church methinks. (Note: I am not naive enough to pretend this is the opinion of all priests, nor that all priests are paedophiles...... or gay with a licentious eye on little boys......... and I feel sorry for the men who thought being a priest was a good idea to help the world, in all good faith and with a clear conscience, and who are now tarred with a terrible black brush. Sucks to be you guys......... but I do think you're in the minority!)
Someone commented to me that it's another #Cardinal on the Popes #Shitlist 😂😂😂
In answer to a critic:
We are #Irish over here and what they did in #Ireland was both #criminal and #heinous. God will forgive them but we won't forget. They often caused what may be considered #deviance from what is 'the norm' in our country. They tortured children. They murdered them. They contained single mothers for decades in slavery and forcibly removed their children from them. Then they sold those infants for inter country adoptions to whoever paid well, to hospitals for medical experimentations or the farmers who used them as child labourers to pick stones in the fields. Or sent them to children's homes where they remained for their young lives in centres of rampant abuse. As a human rights defender, freedom of religion is high on my agenda, as is children's rights. I have evidence for my claims here. There is no human way to justify that or excuse it. I leave that with Almighty God.
I must add that they removed the ability for thousands of Good Catholics in #Ireland to continue their fellowship in the Catholic community because of what they did and how it was covered up and are the direct cause for many people being unable to have ANY relationship to God or to Jesus or to any monotheistic deity because they USED God and their respected power as clergy to do the horrible deviant things that they did by way of explanation to their victims. I acknowledge that in the eyes of the church I am wrong. Common human sense tells me otherwise, my relationship with God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit is stronger than ever but I certainly don't need someone to guide me who themselves belongs to the wealthiest private enterprise in the world that absorbs molesters, rapists and paedophiles. I doubt many people in Ireland disagree with that. We are managing to be sheep outside the fold and it suits us better. As does non denominationism, anti sectarianism, tolerance and respect for other faiths and care for humanity at large. Per capita we are the most renowned country to give aid inspite of a largely corrupt government, failed health system, struggling education system, homelessness and economic crisis. We practise, we don't need tolerate or deserve to be preached at
