1 Yes yes, but how does the Jooo play into this? I mean, the children had to be plants by Israeli agents, right?

2 As a Catholic, I am of course embarraseed by the sexual abuse that As a Catholic, I am of course very embarrased about the sexual abuse scandal that has taken place in the Church. This subject ties in very well with your blog on gays on VH1. Unfortunatly the Church is a victim of very ordinary gay activity. These criminals were simply doing what all gays aspire to: Unrestricted sex with men and boys with no stigma attached. Next time the MSM uses the phraise "Pedophile Priest" replace the wore pedophile with "Gay". They were and are nothing more than a group of criminal fags. I hope and pray the good men in our church can save it.

3 Hyscience's piece is bollocks, as I've noted in comments at his site.

4 Dangerous territory here. But I'll weigh in (lightly). There is a definite correlation - I think it has a few sources. 1. If you feel guilty for a terrible sin you try to even it out by making a really big sacrifice - - the priesthood, martyrdom, etc. or by trying top shield yourself (preisthood again) or by getting trusted access (preisthood again.)

5 Gays may have infiltrated the Catholic Church over the centuries, but it seems to me that they have been there with Mohammed at the very onset of Islam.

6 Oh you know I was not going to read this and not reply........ I too am Catholic, my ex-hubby was a 4th degree Grand Knight and I the President for the Ladies Auxilary. Since the change of pre-cannon law I have watched the church progress in a downward fashion. As Nun's and Priests have turned their heads to accept many of the changes. The church has always stood on the grounds of forgiveness to most sins, but before the change in Cannon the Sacrements were strictly adhered to. Marriage was between ONE man and ONE woman FOR LIFE, abortion was grounds for excommunication, birth control was one of the biggest sins of all, and pre marital sex ( well we all know catholic girls were more passed over for the Baptist ones) they were easier.. lol During Mass if you even appeared to look bored the Priest would come down from the alter and wake you up. (whack) The Nun's were both revered and feared. Like you dogfish, I pray a rosary for the Priests to remain strong and for the church to keep a fundemental gravity that Catholics along with the religion can live by. I am totally against woman becoming priest, and alter girls. Jesus' deciples were MEN. Women need to go back to raising their children because gawd knows the children today need more parental involvement. (Maternal) And men can go back to being MEN. And if a priest is guilty of sexual abuse he should be treated no less than a person who is not a priest. The act that he committed of sexual abuse has no baring on him being a priest.. His new Title is not Priest its PERVERT!!! And he should be delt with outside the church while he is excommunicated from the catholic church. Andrea

7 Lets bring burning at the stake back as form of punishment ... and the perfect sponsor: Bridgeford Charcoal. Any social figure may it be religious, civil government, military ... scratch that idea all child molesters should get a public execution with a nice choice of ways to go: Crucifiction, burned at the stake or quartering! We are weak people with a weak stomach ... time to put the kick back in good old Americanism "Swift kick in the ass!"

8 A distinction that needs to be made is that Protestant and Islamic clergy are not celibate. In Islam, all members of society are free to marry (except those mentally unable). Sex is not a sin in Islam, but it is completely encouraged (through marriage). So the article is out of context when we are discussing child molestation, since Islamic clerics will most likely have wives to satisfy them (same with protestant clerics).

9 KARACHI: Dr Aamir Liaqat, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) parliamentarian and state minister for religious affairs, has allegedly bought fake degrees of masters in Islamic studies, masters in business administration and PhD from The Trinity College and University, Spain, which is an unrecognised university, reported Karachi-based daily Ummat. The paper said in its detailed report that the university was also not on the list of recognised international universities available with the Karachi University. The paper claimed that Dr Aamir bought fake degrees to contest the 2002 general elections, forced Karachi University officials to authenticate the degrees in a single day and prevented any investigations by the paper to dig deep into the unavailable records at the university. It claimed that the minister also did not have a graduation degree. The paper obtained copies of the university degrees Dr Aamir used to make himself eligible to contest the election for a National Assembly seat on an MQM ticket from Karachi. The paper claimed that Dr Aamir got his PhD degree in just three weeks after he received his Master’s. “The minister secured the Master’s degree on March 15, 2002 while he got the PhD degree on April 5, 2002 from the Spanish university, which advertises on its website as ‘Get your degree today’.” The paper said that the Karachi University registrar at the time, Prof NM Aqil Burney, received Dr Aamir’s application to authenticate his PhD degree on August 24, 2002, days before filing his nomination papers. The registrar authenticated his degree the same day without referring the documents to the Equivalence Committee. The paper also obtained copies of the degrees Dr Aamir presented to the Election Commission. During investigation, it found that the Spanish university had placed exactly similar samples on its website. online
