WTF is up with priests now?
 

I was just watching the news and everyday there are more priests having charges brought forth on them, or some priest that says he fondled a kid like 20 years ago.
What happened to the days when a priest were the purest humans on the planet?

when were they ever the purest? In the good ol days everyone had to pay tribute to them and they would kill girls they thought were wiches.

I thought this shit was only happening here in Australia...looks like its priests everywhere.

Just supports the fact that religion is just a big hypocrisy!

Back then they were doing what the church said, they were trying to rid the earth of the Pagans, but it doesn't tell them to touch little boys.
Also why is always little boys? Not only are they pedo's, but they are gay too?

Confucious say: Girl with skirt up run faster than boy with pants down

LOL hahaha

Most religion is bullshit

Priests who abuse the trust placed in them should be castrated

Thats exactly what I am saying...nobody is that shocked when Chester the Molester does shit like this, but these guys supposedly devote thier lives to spreading the word on the right thing to do. It kind of a real slap in the face when you hear stuff like that. My family was pretty religious when I was younger, and its fucked up now to think those guys that were teaching us and playing baseball and stuff, could have been just out to get one of alone for a bit.

Priests have always been perverted cunts

That's what I've always wondered to. That's pretty fucked up. I suppose that in churches, there's always young alter boys around, but not really many young girls.

I have a buddy that was disgusted. He got married by his lifelong priest and come to find out, about a year after he was married, he found out that he was molesting some boys in the church. I know that if I found that out about the guy that married me and my wifey, I'd feel sickened.

I'm sure there are good priests out there somewhere, I just haven't met him yet. saying all of them are perverted cunts is like saying all pornographers flog kiddie porn. it just aint true.

Having said that, anyone know where i can find a young bunch of perverted virgin nuns ?

i'm glad i never went to church when i was a kid.

Funny thing is the media only goes after catholics you never see them going after reverends, rabbi's and so on I am sure if you play the numbers its about the same acorss the board.

In every group you will get your share of bad ones, and those bad ones ruin the reputation of the rest of the group.

A significant % of priests have always been that way. Most I'm sure are not but it's certainly not a new thing. We just get to hear about it these days is the biggest difference.

The church in the UK came under attack revently for hushing up child molestation in the past. They may not all be perverts but they are nearly all hypocritical bastards.

I'm with you Keev,

There will always be the bad seed in any group, however the Catholic Church really does need to move into the 20th century at least....
Q) What kind of man pledges himself to remain celebate and partnerless for his entire life, for the love/duty of his church??
A) A sexually dysfunctional one...thats who.

The ridiculous deprivations the church places on these men in the name of God, creates the unhealthy situations, we are hearing about more & more.

I am sure the abuse has been going on for just about as long as the church. The only diffrence is that now we are hearing about it. The church was too powerful to cross and so if you managed the courage to say anything in the first place then they had the power to cover it up.

Perhaps the reason it is most often boys is because priests tend to have more access to boys. Think about it: alter boys..etc

In my own mind it has a lot to do with the chastity vow. It you deny humans, men in particular, their one basic instinct some of them will obsess about it and then snap. Now, you have already made it a sin for them to have sex with adults so having sex with a child isn't (in the twisted mind) any worse then having with an adult. The end result is the same, you have broken your vow.

Let them get laid every now and then and maybe they wouldn't go insane trying to supress it.

This has always been my view...you take a man who and deprive him of basic human drives like sex and add to that the vow of poverty...hmmm, priests can't have sex or money....that's got to lead to some pent up frustrations...but I often wonder, why does the Pope appear wealthy (well, we know th Catholic Church has money) so why should priests have to live without? I am by no means condoning the horrible damage these predators do to children, but always wonder what makes someone deviate in such a way....

The catholic backlash is more about the covering up of these crimes rather than the crimes...in the past, stuff like this was covered up and priests were simply transferred.......

In the past, I have received a lot of hatemail for my anti-catholic leanings and rhetoric (I never realized so mny adult webmasters had Catholic leanings) but these coverups for some reason seem to bother me more than the crimes...I find it offensive that the Catholic church would allow these children to be victimized and then victimized again when the priest was simply transferred and essentailly got off scot free........

I must disagree keev.

The problem with the Catholic Church is the way it's powers were set up oh so long ago.

If you go to most protestant churches the priests on up to the pope are not considered infallible.

We protestants might hold high regard for a preacher...but we would never kneel and kiss the rings of any leaders in our churches.

One man who was molested by the priest in Boston told how he looked upon this priest as if he were God himself...and one day he and his friend who was being molested as well told his mother that the priest had touched him...the man watched as the mother slapped the shit out of the boy and told him to never speak of the father that way again...he knew right then he would never be able to tell.

I come from a Catholic family...both sides...however it is only my immediate family (mother, father 2 brothers and 1 sister) who is not Catholic....so in my 35 years I've experienced both sides of this issue...and after speaking to my father and mother many nights regarding why they left Catholocism I can see why too.

There are bad cases where people get snookered by bad preachers and sure there are cases where youth counselors have molested children in the protestant realm...however the priesthood tho' not necessarily designed for this in the beginning became a safe haven for homosexuals and pedophiles because of the way the Church set it up.

Priests were not always barred from marrying in the past, I think this has had alot to do with the troubles the church is experiencing now...not because of lack of sex or female companionship....but it created a safe haven for those dealing with sexual issues from homosexuality to pedophilia...it gave them a place to hide from the rest of the world.

Anyway...you are correct tho' that much bad has been done in the name of religion....for an immediate example of that today all we have to do is take a look at the mideast.

I believe that is why these stories never come out till like 20 years later. Its like trying to say you were molested by...by a priest! They need to re-vamp the catholic church system and allow the priests to marry, maybe then the priests could keep thier little bishops in thier robes.

Child molesters can be found usually in "jobs" that include activities to do with children. Teachers, Coaches, Day Care Workers, Church Leaders. Boy Scout Leaders, Girl Scouts,, ect ect. These sick ass abusers set out to find these "trusted" jobs. As Parents, My Husband and I take a big leading role in our childrens lives. I never take anything for granted. I have worked in mental health and sometimes helped with group therapy involving sexual abuse. You would be amazed at how many peoples lives have been shattered by abusers. As a parent, I will do everything to protect my child, teaching them from a early age about body boundries is very important and having a open line of communication.

Don't kid yourself this crap has been going on for centuries. The stereotypical gay nuns and priest's convents have basis in fact.

Ask yourself this;

You want someone to be a priest or whatever, but tell them that you can't have sex with someone of the opposite sex ever again.

The only ones who are going to put their hands up are paedophiles and kinkos

Ask someone to sign up and let them have normal adult sexual contact, and then you will have normal people. The church is stuck in the dark ages, and trying to cover their filthy dirty laundry.

The truth of the matter is some of the worst child abusers reside within the church structure, so when they call porn evil, they really need to look in the mirror to see where the evil truly is!

That's why it's better to be a BornAgain-Christian. We're not as fucked up as the catholics. We jerkoff all the time. In fact it's encouraged. I saw all the Catholics should go straight to hell, or at least be forced to watch Zoolander 1000 times.

This is complete shit. First off, nobody is running around begging horny men to become priests. That'd be like begging a nun to star in your next gang bang video. It doesn't work, I have tried.

To become a priest you have to study, and study, and study, for many years. You must give up much MORE then sex. This may sound weird to most of you, but sex ain't everything. So to become a priest you must be extremely devoted and extremely willing to work hard, and believe in what you work for. These people are priests to help people, to devote their life to God. They care about their people and others in need, not about the money in their pocket. Money and women (wives, sex, whatever) are seen as something that takes away from the devotion to God, especially children. Think about it, how willing would a father or wife be to get up at 3 AM on a regular basis to help people in need.

Same reason I don't want kids or a woman, they take too much time.

Lately we've seen some bad eggs. Don't you all find it a little odd that they all decide to come out NOW? I'm not defending the offenders by any means, but things aren't always what they appear. You should all know that. Also, I highly doubt that there is a recent surge in pediphelia amongst priests. This is no different than the gay issue. We see gays much more now than 60 years ago, is it because there are more gays?

Born Again's not fucked up as Catholics? LOL. That's a good laugh. I always get a kick out of watching their Pastor, or whatever the hell they're called, driving around in their Lexus right after they were in Church begging for money to help people and "cleanse souls". What a joke.

You keep telling yourself this...LOL

This whole pedophilia thing isn't anything new...most of these cases that are being brought to light span not just years but decades.

The fucked up catlickin' church is trying to protect it's little gold goblets made from the teeth of jews during world war II...nothing more...this is the only reason they are releasing names now.

I hope they go after asswipes like Cardinal Law for obstruction of justice or maybe even accessories after the fact.

They deserve to all be thrown in jail for covering it up.

Born agains believe that you can do whatever you want and as long as you repent, everything will be ok. Thats the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard. I am not saying that everyone is perfect, or catholics don't sin, but I mean come on, Ted Bundy became born again right before he was killed, but according to born again faith, he should be able to get into heaven.
