By saying they are ontological is absolutely blasphemous. There is an inbred and systemic cooperation going on within the Catholic church. Otherwise this awful abuse would not be happening. To say a person cannot be saved outside of the Catholic church is not Biblical either.
The Catholic Church is not the only Church with sexual abuse problems. The abuse problems are rampant among protestants and tend to be more heterosexual in nature. The Orthodox Churches with their married priests have a problem here. If we do the research it will be eye opening.
This woman got <after leaving RBB Media (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg)> a royal handshake and a salary for 7 years for doing nothing. Shame on her!!! All taxpayers money...
There is an issue with this victim first mentality. Some people in the literature have come forward interviewing that their early intimate experiences were beneficial and a good thing for them. Not a huge amount of people by percentage. Maybe 6%. These people are not listened and often left out of the larger conversation. Even eyes role and in interview the interviewer keeps pushing them to feel a certain way. I suspect quite a few more have not come forward to avoid this hyperbolic knee jerk response to centuries of complete silence. They need to be included in the conversation so we can parse out the subtle issues and gradations of what our society may broach as proper or not proper. This may be one of the most intelligent well spoken individuals on YT that has mentioned these things. And even he starts in with insults against people who deny the unequivocable harm in all cases.
Religious orders having a disposition towards younger people is not so uncommon. Children are far close to a manifestation of the spirit than adults often times. They have porcelain skin, better bodily symmetry, a certain grace of movement. We can see this up and down the Catholic orders over the years, the Hindu temples, and Islam has not issue with it with young marriages. Mary was married off at 12-13yo to a much older man. Muhammad and Aiysha. Often times in religious types the Anima (Jungian term) is less formed and projects more naturally on pure things. Speaking for God as a way to get what a priest wants in this realm is just the tip of the iceberg of systemic sin. No one speaks for God on this Earth. We have scripture and discourse.
Thank you Fr Thomas P Doyle for speaking up for innocent children you are a true Priest of Jesus Christ those who are against him who speaking the truth shame on shalitan Priest most of you who are in denial you all have to pay the ultimate price that's hell
“Watch out no one deceives you. For MANY will come in my name Claiming “I am the Christ” and will deceive MANY” “I am Christ” ~ “Vicar of Christ” How MANY Vicars DECEIVED How MANY of the many ??? Lifting Up any man to level of CHRIST = USURPING Authority & Majesty.
Priests have Holy Orders. They can change bread into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. You can't. They are human, but unfortunately a target for the demonic. If you do not believe in the supernatural, you will not believe this. This is not an excuse for evil behavior, but a good explanation. We are in a spiritual battle. Unfortunately, they let a whole lot of homosexuals into the seminaries. Most abuse is homosexual, not pedophilia. The main victims are adolescent males. In your efforts to end this horrible behavior, you have become a heretic. There is nothing untrue in the Catholic faith as revealed by Scripture and Tradition. You are making a grave error in blaming perverted behavior on Catholic faith.
Choice to pay lawyers instead of attending to the needs of victims is all the information that anyone needs to know about Catholicism. DON’T Trust the UN-trustworthy. DON’T Give 1 Cent. Get Out. Lucifer wanted to be equal to or above GOD. Book of Isaiah records 5 “I will” statements made by Lucifer. USURPING the Authority, the Word, the Names/titles of THE incomparable and irreplaceable HOLY GOD is what this religion has done. “Watch out no one deceives you. For many will come in my name claiming “I am the Christ” and will deceive many.”
Tom Doyle, you said that wherever Catholicism is, there is sexual abuse. You also said that you were looking for a common thread so as to find the cause of this scourge. All you have to do is read Romans chapter one beginning in verse 22 and ending in verse 28. Here it is: Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; In actual fact, it isn't found just in Catholicism. Sodomy (and pedophilia with young victims easy to intimidate into silence) is found wherever idolatry is found. Idolatry is defined in the bible as the making and worshiping of images and idols. God sees idolatry as reducing Him to filth. Idolatry is reducing God's body to an inanimate object, which is detestable. God sees it as an expression of dishonor; a vile affection. And the punishment for idolatry perfectly fits the crime. God's recompense for idolatry is to cause idolators to dishonor their own bodies likewise....to do that which is detestable and filthy and perverted and vile and against nature. Break down all your Roman Catholic images and idols and worship God in spirit and in truth and the curse will be lifted. I don't even hope that Roman Catholicism will take the cure. But you, sir, must come out of that idolatrous church TODAY. The curse of Sodomy is found in every other idolatrous "religion", which is nearly every religion in the world except the TRUE church of God, wherein you will NEVER see any man-made image of anything in heaven or in earth or in the water under the earth. And you will NEVER see any true believer bow down himself to images or idols. Neither will you see ANY true believer suffer from the divine recompense for idolatry, SODOMY!!! You now have that common denominator that you were seeking. And you didn't get it from a man. You got it straight from God's Holy Word. Thank Him for opening your eyes.
If you think the bible is a good place to learn how to bring up children... would you then say that if your child answers you back, you should put them to death? The bible does.
Where is the wordwide Christian and church effort to expose and stop all this? Waiting..... yep, just like those that have waited 2000 years with no results...
Did you know that for hundreds of years, the Church encouraged the use of Castrati - young boys who are castrated to improve their singing life? Did you know that Pope Stephen VI actually dug up his predecessor's corpse and put it on trial? Did you know that Pope John 12 murdered a lot of people and gave money and land to mistresses? John 12 turned the Vatican into a brothel. Did you know that King David had his men murder. 200 Pharisees in order to harvest 200 fresh foreskins for his wedding dowry? The whole fnn enterprise has always been corrupt. The Bible contains hundreds of vile passages. Did you know that Psalm 137 says blessed are those that batter babies' heads on rocks? Boniface VIII was that paedophilia was no more problematic than “rubbing one hand against the other.” God himself is not above torturing everyone and wiping out village (even their livestock) on w whim. Sure he may have cured 10 lepers for comic effect, but he also created leprosy (according to the bible) and just left all the other lepers to die by having bits drop of them. He really does not care - just watch the way humans and animals suffer and we all perish mostly horrible, in the end, whether we have been good or bad, even in the womb. The Image of the church and Christianity is a lie.
A few years ago, I received a payment from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia if I promise not to sue the Archdiocese in thr future.Recently I found out the Archdiocese had published a list of credibly accused deceased priests. The name of my abuser was not on the list.
Hope you keep posting. Obviously, the church continues to do business as usual. 1 problem is that those who have been indoctrinated into the religion of Catholicism can’t, won’t + don’t want to SEE the Obvious.
There's nothing stopping women spreading the Gospel and there are plenty of roles for them in the Church but the priesthood was ordained by God both in the Old and New Testament ro he for men only "in personae Christi" and it will never change.
Most of these people are elderly, young Catholics aren't interested in woman priests etc and most new priests are conservative. They are a product of their generation.
As a Catholic, I have no issues, frankly none of us do, with experts, citizens, and victims bringing forth these issues and crimes, and discussing the errors and horrors committed, as well as bringing punitive damages to those involved as well as corrective recommendations, The only issue I have with all of this, is that a lot of people want to promote this idea that The Church was complicit and a proponent of these crimes, negating that The Church was following the guidelines established by the psychological experts, at the time, believing (or at least claiming) this was a curable problem. These narratives, also, minimize the fact that it was the Church that initiated it's own internal investigaton and brought the issues and horrors to light and to their respective authorities and not that this was an external investigation or exposé. Then there is those cases where, though they were clergy this was done outside the church and in remote locations unrelated to the Church, yet because they were clergy, the Church took absorbed it as if it were an issue in The Church. Not like The Church is an institution that promoted or revered sexual abuse of any kind, like those individuals and institutions that promote child mutilations and abortions.
Issue seen to curable does not mean you shuffle priests parish to parish or out of diocese. Internal investigations didn’t usually come first, from what i can tell. What’s done remotely, not being church ‘business,’ is an absurd statement.
Thank you for a powerful, informative, compassionate and challenging presentation! Your Galilee reaches the ends of the earth and is a fabulous ministry of healing, one day at a time!
I had the pleasure of meeting Alan in the 80s when we were both studying theology in the states. I wish him a multitude of blessings in his new assignment. Pace e Bene Alan. Diana Rich
The Church doesn't save. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior saves from eternity without a relationship with our Creator who loves us. Jesus has never stopped praying for us or the church and asks us to pray for the church. Seeing the church but not seeing Jesus praying and present and forming a relationship through prayer with God. Jesus asks me to follow Him, but not to expect the people in the church to be minor dieties that can save me from my sins. Jesus does ask me to love and forgive sinners found in the church. I forgive the church. Spiritual blindness is seeing only the sins of the church or seeing only saints. Dont reject the many for the sins of a few.
