Good exists - a Catholic comments

[Barry]

Hi Boru,
The Bible story is full of human flaws, but not divine flaws. Jesus tells us to “be perfect like God”. It’s a big call. But striving to achieve it is the only way to happiness.

And again you miss the point. Not to worry - I’m here to help:

The Catholic Church practiced, condoned, and covered up the sexual abuse of children. In furtherance of this, they broke - institutionally - at least three commandments, dozens of other biblical structures, and who knows how many Church rules. It’s no good putting the blame on a few rogue priests, since the Church hierarchy was involved in the scandal root and branch.

And yet you have the bollocks to call this organization of kiddie fuckers ‘the one true church’, which I was taught in catechism class and Sunday school, means the Church was ‘ordained by God and sustained by the Holy Spirit’.

And yet you also claimed that the Church is for the good of mankind. This naturally leads to the question, ‘Why would God create an instrument of salvation that brutalizes children?’.

Laughable.

Hi Boru
Nice to hear from you again. Child abuse is prevalent in sporting institutions, schools, scouts, other religions, acting, but mostly carried out by family members and close family friends. Yes, I mentioned it has been happening in the Church and there have been scandalous coverups, it happens anywhere there are human beings. But that does not detract one bit from the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Church.
But God gave us free will. And that means we can defy God and sin. And deny God and pretend the world just happened one day. 
God bless
