The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Then show me the evidence.. Something you usually have no difficulty doing when youre right.

I can easily show you evidence of the bible supporting slavery, I'm not aware of any catholic doctrine that cover pedophilia. Enlighten me.

My evidence is that your requirement for Catholicism "supporting" paedophelia is a misnomer given the actions of the Catholic church that have been going on for thousands of years.

Yeah, because those people are not the same thing as what catholicism actually teaches. It's not that difficult of a distinction to understand. Youre cherrypicking evidence by ignoring the majority of catholics whose beliefs would be in direct conflict with pedophilia. I guess none of those catholics count since they don't fit your position.

They're cherrypicking a belief system as a way to justify supporting an institution that perpetuates rape and paedophelia on a global scale and has been for literally thousands of years. I don't think that I'm being unfair here.

What exactly are they cherry picking to justify supporting the church?

Sure, I see a lack of Catholics holding their 'leaders' accountable, but is sharing a belief system that's being exploited by despicable people the same as supporting them? Unless it's doctrine, no.

Yes, it provides the Catholic church with social value in numbers because if I tell someone that I'm a Catholic and they decide to check it out, they're going to find some wing of the rape institution to learn about it.

Again, it goes to the lack of holding their priests accountable though it doesn't mean being Catholic means you support pedophilia unless it's doctrine. You're completely reaching to justify hating Catholics.

How is the idea of holding every catholic accountable for what a bunch of priests have done any different than the type of bigotry you scrutinized [merit] for having towards Jews despite [merit] claiming that his disdain was only towards Jewish people he felt were secretly influencing world events? Seems like you're cherry picking which religion it's okay to be bigoted towards. As well as spreading the same kind of hateful propaganda.

You think they should change their religion to avoid association? You think they should reject their own beliefs and conform to another similar institution just because you think being catholic makes you guilty? Being Catholic doesn't mean you support or are a part of the institution, it just means you have this belief.

It's not like writing a million dollar check to the church, but it's supporting it nonetheless.

Think about it, this is the same **** OH would say about Islam yet you'd reject that bigotry while supporting this one. The only difference is that the thing OH scrutinizes Islam for is ACTUALLY in their doctrine.

I don't define all of Christianity by Catholicism.
