Y'all can go on about new laws and a new attitude from the Church in relation to pedophile priest all ya want.......
Truth is the US Church is still sending their 'suspected' pedophile priests to a little retreat up in Northern New Mexico just like they have for years and years. They slowly let them re-enter pastoral duties by letting them loose (alibet part time) in the parishes of NNM. After some time in prayer and fasting and redemption and part time pastoral duties, they are sent back to minister to flocks all over the US.......... NOT ONE DAMN THING HAS CHANGED. The Church pays hush money and continues on.

The day they arrested him years later? I framed the newpaper article and mailed it home. IMO as long as priests are forced to live a celibate life void of all sexuality the problems are going to keep happening. |

Pedophilia has nothing to do with celibacy. Rape has nothing to do with celibacy. You cannot make those comparisons. It's like saying homosexuals are pedophiles. Pedophilia is NOT about lack of sex or marriage. It is far more complicated. Most pedophiles were sexually abused as children.....and many of them abused by pedophile priests and pastors. It is a viscous circle that cannot be stopped by framing the argument around celibacy. Celibacy and pedophilia are not in any way related.

i DO think that asking adults to live their entire live as asexual beings is downright nuts though. somewhere in my brain there is a connection to what happens with these priests and the way that the catholic church makes sex a shameful thing. (masturbation will make you blind or grow hair on your palms were a few things nuns told us) i am a recovering catholic and my name is adelita. |

That's how I read Hawking--and that's how I've read most of his other pronouncements on the existence of a god. No one can say that they know there is not a god. I don't know that there isn't one. But when I look around I don't see a need for a god. All the things that we normally attribute to requiring a god--even morality--turn out to not *require* a god. I think that's the point that Hawking is making. Cheers Aj Quote:

where i get hung up on the higher power thing is this:
having a terminal illness and receiving healing energy from others i have to say that it give me hope. i know that is has an impact on how i get through my next hospitalization or treatment. maybe it is just energy and not a diety? i cannot wrap my mind around a diety making people gravely ill and that there is some kind of vetting process when choosing who gets cancer and who gets to be an olympian swimmer? i may have just confused myself again. |

The feel good story you linked, to me, is just that a feel good story. If the Pope actually did excommunicate pedophiles, the priesthood and his leadership would likely be decimated. Turning them over to legal authorities has not been a pattern of the Church. Settling cases out of court and paying money is the pattern that is still ongoing. edited to add: the article also reinforces the idea that homosexuality and pedophilia are linked. It also leads one to believe that celibacy has some connection to pedophilia.

The link does not work.
I did hear about this. My understanding is that this is common among certain tribes in Afghanistan.....particularly the Pashtun (sp) tribe. The current leader of Afghanistan is a guy named Karzi who is a Pashtun. His brother is a big ole opium drug dealer. One of the comments I heard was that US soldiers could not in any way interfere with this custom. They have to have a blind eye towards obvious pedophilia. The awful thing is that once these boys become men, they can be killed if they participant in homosexual behaviors with other grown men. Same sex pedophilia is ok, but it is not ok for grown men to have same sex relationships.

i can't figure out which one at the moment, but one of the documentaries made about the scandal featured a priest explaining how pedophilia helps to ensure future "vocations" in that a lot of the people who will volunteer for a job that requires "celibacy" likely would not if they didn't have disordered perceptions of sexuality, and that being abused as a child helps to create those disordered perceptions, so that an end to priestly pedophilia would mean far fewer priests!
so the i guess turning a blind eye to rape is prefereble to allowing priests to marry so we can take "squirrelly about sex" out of the job description*eyeroll*

seeing the Oakland Pride thread reminds me there were shootings at SF Pride...so that puts as at an average of one individual per month (that we hear of) flipping out violently in the midst of innocent bystanders.
my theory is some kind of evolutionary overpopulation safety valve- the same kind of thing that causes animals to eat their young when the habitat can't afford increased numbers

This caught my attention lastnight. A church in Gainesville, FL are talking of burning the Koran on 9-11. Why would a church burn a religious book?
