RCC says making a woman a priest is as sinful as abusing a child.

She's a past mistress of that game by all accounts.

What? This isn't even an accusation from a victim, its a baseless accusation from a politician which you tried to post as proof.

Your first link is about the Pope's brother being aware of corporal punishment back in the day, it also briefly makes a butchered quote from Crimen sollicitationis which was in reference to ecclesiastical trials only, which do not preclude criminal trials.

The second of your links is just about a Bishop being under suspicion, not the Vatican.

There is no cop outs here, this is just you posting a handful of poorly researched articles and me just stating a few pretty simple facts. Repeating a lie a lot of times doesn't make it the truth. Undecided

Repeating a lie every post seems to work for you.

The crisis also has pit the moral legacies of two popes against each other: the towering and modernizing John Paul II, who nonetheless did little about sexual abuse; and his successor, Benedict XVI, who in recent years, at least, has taken the issue of pedophile priests more seriously.

But a wave of recent disclosures in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United States have led to increasing scrutiny of Benedict and his actions while a bishop in Germany and as a cardinal who later headed the Vatican’s bureaucracy.

True that EP.

@ Aiza. You still have a reading comprehension problem. I will not play this game with you. The longer you insist on playing it the more you discredit yourself. If you want to stop looking like a weasel, an ass, or a dumbass, read my posts and address the issues. The ones I brought up not the ones you want to believe I brought up. It's all in writing, nothing is hidden, go back and read.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

Baloney. The RCC has a hierarchy, does it not? The local parish falls under the archdiocese, which reports up the chain. The Vatican is at the top of that chain.

Quote:--and they only fall under their authority in the sense of the responsibilities of Faith+Morals.

Authority comes with responsibility. Can't have one without the other.

Quote:I am under the authority of the Vatican and the president as well, in the sense that they both can influence laws which I follow.

The difference here is that you are not compelled to follow the dictates of the Vatican.

Quote:In terms of the minutiae of running a local parish, there is no way that the Vatican could run all the parishes in the world.

No kidding! Just like the President could not possibly run all the agencies of the US government. This is why people are appointed at various levels to handle day to day chores. But the President is ultimately responsible for those agencies.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Quote: "Making a woman a priest is as sinful as abusing a child, the Roman Catholic Church declared yesterday.
New religious rules published by the Vatican set both sins at the same level of gravity and recommended the same punishment for guilty priests."

Also it sounds like the measures (mentioned in the article) they are taking to curb child abuse is equivalent to pissing on a fire. A lot of fancy words perhaps but no real substance. What do all of you think?

The fact that something is a 'sin' has never stopped Catholics or their priests from doing whatever they wanted to do. Am I being too obvious, or what?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
