Hurt

I'm so hurt by some of the headlines in the news lately. I just sat through the evening news... and the tears ran from my eyes when... once again... the Catholic church is making headlines.

Children have been molested and it hurts my heart. And the Catholic church works EXTENSIVELY to cover it up. **heavy sigh** Hundreds and hundreds of children, FOREVER changed.... never to be the same.... ever.

Celibacy is so unnatural.

I agree. Paul said that if we can't contain ourselves we should get married. I'll bet most of the priests chose that life because they really wanted to do right, but a little power will make the week mind go crazy.

I agree, I dont believe celibacy is unatural, its MAKING celibacy a rule that is unatural to me...a lot of priest go into the priesthood for the same reason a lot of men go into marriage, thinking it will "heal" them of their bad behaviors, only it doesnt and it winds up seeping out again. I cant stand watching the news, it makes my sould hurt.

I think many of those pedophile priests don't have faith and use that religion thing JUST to be able to do their thing and get away with it because they KNOW they will be protected by the catholic church that would do anything to protect a perfect image. Others think being a priest will heal them like Chase said. But pedophilia just can't be cured. Pedophile and rapists in general should be castrated period!
