401 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | Brian.g | 52529 | ||
While we are all deeply saddened and disturbed by the acts of immorality performed over the past 25 years by 250 of our 14,000 priests, we must also recognize this more so as a mirror reflecting the image of today’s society. Our society has grown comfortable and accepting of these attacks against the dignity of mankind. The Supreme Court proclaimed the constitutional right to create and freely distribute photograph-quality images of small children performing sexual acts. Through a children’s television station, gay parenting and homosexual marriages are being taught as natural and normal to a target group of 8-13 year old children. Our libraries have decided that an adults right to view Internet pornography over the libraries computers are more important than protecting our children from web sites which promote and glorify every form of sin and perversion possible and some, even beyond normal human imagination. In today’s world, these acts blend into the fabric of our everyday life so invisibly, that most are no longer noticed. And worse yet, the effect that they have upon our children (our future leaders) is being overlooked. But, when shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, we see this immorality for what it truly is and the world has justifiably cried out in anger, disgust and horror. Parents are the moral role models and the protectors of our children. Society cannot have morally strong adults (including religious leaders) if they are not given proper guidance from childhood on. We, the parents of today, will determine the moral fabric of this country for tomorrow and each day after. If we, the parents of today, abdicate our responsibility as the moral leaders of our children by not teaching our children to reject sin, then we must not be critical when our future leaders, also lack moral standards. Jesus taught us how. Brian |

Joe I think shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, the world sees homosexuality for what it really is. I realize that there are plenty of Protestant denominations which are pro-gay, but now you know how the world really feels about it. All I'm saying is that we (all people) should learn from this. Why does everything have to be an argument with you, Joe. Brian |

By the way, I am not grieving for my Church. It's not perfect, and it never will be. This is not the first time the Catholic Church has had any issues and it won't be the last. Remember on the night in which Jesus ordained the 12 Apostles into the priesthood - Judas betrayed Him and Peter denied Him three times. Our current issues are a piece of cake compared to that first day. Brian |
