What do we think about the Catholic Church? I just want to test the waters, I will not fight/argue with hateful words or cursing, so don't throw me out yet, I am just curious.

RE: Catholicism
"Sports" does not hold itself up as a moral authority..... while a) raping children and b) mounting a cover up to protect their slimy asses.

Fuck the church.

Yuk, yuk.

Not a fan of the sordid history of murder, pedophilia, extortion, revisionism, lying, racism, sexism, homophobia, and witch-hunting.

Did you have something specific you wanted to address? Tongue
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'll bite. Yes. I love sports. I watch football, hockey, basketball, Formula 1, golf, NASCAR, tennis, and soccer. In that order.

Okay good, I'm a baseball fan myself. Whether or not you like the Reds, are all Reds players gamblers? Or are all San Francisco Giants players doing steroids? You may suspect that the second is true, referring to Pete Rose and Barry Bonds, but my point is why associate or blame an entire group for the faults of so few?

Because the organization systematically did all of those things. Every single one of them. (the things, not the parishioners.)
