A Nun's Views on Abortion

[Shell B]

If they are Catholic people motivated by their Catholic faith and doing charity that was organized through their Church and using Church donations, how can that not be called Catholic Charity? What would it have to be for it to be considered "real" Catholic Charity, if not that?  

Are you all actually motivated by Catholicism or are you motivated by the pain and suffering and of others? Are you simply motivated to help mankind? I think, for most people, the urge to help others is intrinsic. It's organized through the church because that's where you all hang out. Our local food pantry organizes fundraisers for a huge variety of causes. We don't call it food pantry charity. The Catholic Church calls it Catholic charity because it puts their name on it. I suppose if the Vatican sold its literal treasury of wealth and gave it to the poor, I'd start calling it Catholic Charity. For now, it's just a huge conglomerate getting its folks to do good works in their name so they can hang on to their vast wealth.

I would agree with you if Church doctrine actually taught that raping children and/or covering up rape was good and was what we should do. Then those men would be acting on their religious beliefs, and yes, it would be the fault of "the Church" as a whole and not merely the fault of the individuals involved.

So, the church covering it up and moving these rapists around to keep them safe and their name unbesmirched does not make it look like what you "should" do by example? It's pervasive enough to be considered a uniquely Catholic problem. It would be super cool if Catholics started organizing protests against this and raising money to aid in the legal counsel of victims, etc. I would definitely be less likely to consider it Catholic rape if more Catholics actually did a thing about it.

You like documentaries. Check this one out. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/deliver-us-from-evil/ The coverups go all the way to the top. Charity doesn't.

I don't mean to insult your faith. That's your personal thing and I don't really care what you believe, as it's none of my business. I'm just pointing out how I feel about the Catholic Church and showing you the evidence for my beliefs. The Catholic Church is a particularly bad one in my book. That's not to say that Catholics are bad. It's just that the faith is run by a real-life evil empire whose dark influence has stretched for centuries. That a large or small number of Catholics are able to do good doesn't do enough to negate the bad. Still, I appreciate the good individuals do no matter what they do it in the name of. A serial killer could feed a starving child and I'd still be happy the kid got fed.
